After the pogroms and looting in Milan, deluxe brand stores continue to close. Boutique owners fear new unrest, and restaurants and hotels are already reporting cancellations. Safety measures have been tightened in the city's fashion district. Shops have lowered blinds, and merchants are closely monitoring the situation after the weekend's devastation, Italian media reported. The alarm has again triggered messages on social media, with calls for a gathering near the Milan Cathedral at 3:00 pm to repeat the turmoil of the last days. As a result, many stores removed the goods from showrooms and closed. Prada, Vuitton, and Dior boutiques in Victor Emmanuel II's gallery ceased operations. Chanel, Hermès, and Pomellato were closed on Montenegro Street. On Monty Street, the Goyard boutique has posted a listing letting you know it won't work because of “demonstrations.” The open stores have a tense atmosphere, with owners discussing next steps and waiting for events to unfold. Damage reached one million euros According to Marco Barbieri, secretary-general of the Milan department of Confcommercio, the material damage caused by the pogroms and looting continues to increase. “If yesterday morning it was about half a million euros, now it's about a million euros,” he said. However, according to Barbieri, the problem is not limited to direct damage. Businesses are losing revenue due to forced closures, and restaurants and hotels are already facing cancellations of reservations, especially by foreign guests. “People are afraid,” he explained, adding that the damage to Milan's reputation should also be included in the overall losses.
