economic crisis, bad weather, increasing competition of large retail chains and franchises have made life difficult for peddlers of Bergamo. The Association stresses the Anva Confesercenti, which records up to 20 percent loss in 2010.
"The bad weather has damaged us - says the president Giulio Zambon - an entity which has an average of five weekly markets, and about 250 annual working days, has lost more than 50 commercially because of rain and cold weather that marked much of the year. "
Not only that, Cesare Rossi, Confesercenti, points out that the percentage of revenue on products has been greatly reduced to facilitate purchases and at the same time, to maintain quality.
Gone are the days when the Chinese were buying in the cash market places of the airport. Now many of them have already closed shop because of very little business. Yet it is only two or three years. In short, there is not enough to sleep soundly.
yet, "the market is not dead, indeed, is more alive than ever. And why not, more and more multi-ethnic - explains Mauro Dolci, president of Ascom Fiva -. For Italian, as the stranger, the problem is to provide something more. In the case of markets, often, the added value lies in its ability to maintain exclusive relationships with customers, from the unique role of group that has the market in itself. "
