stores such as bars, newsstands and food stores, retailers'
association Confesercenti warned on Thursday in its dossier

Confesercenti denounced that over 26 million Italians live in
municipalities where at least one essential local enterprise has
closed for good.
Overall, between 2014 and 2024 a reported 46,500 local
neighbourhood stores have closed, on average nearly 13 a day,
said the retailers' association.
