Genoa, a year ago the protest of restaurateurs, Guandalini: “We were deluded” – Primocanale.it
“United Restaurateurs was born almost by chance, a friend and colleague, Martino Vallarino contacted a few of us in the Scrivia Valley, we met one Sunday in the square and so we started the protest … “.
Speaking from his restaurateur is Marco Guandalini, owner of the Antica Trattoria Semino in Busalla, one of the architects of the protests of the category that marked the beginning of last year in Genoa and in the rest of Liguria, with protests that were also vibrant first by the United Restaurateurs and then by other colleagues who subsequently made an appointment every weekend in Piazza De Ferrari.
Guandalini, remembers the birth of the protest, the split without controversy gave birth to a new movement, Protesta Liguria, which then took the baton and carried out the toughest revolt complete with a camp under a tent in front of the Liguria Region building.
“A year has passed, but it seems a different era – remembers Guandalini -, we had deluded ourselves with the summer openings before the arrival of the autumn variants. Then other closures and other reopenings. Now with the green pass it is hoped that we will no longer fall into the abyss of closures” hopes the restaurateur, who also points the finger at the increase in electricity bills: “Now that we could recover something, these increases have arrived, it seems almost done on purpose”.
