On May Day, Labor Day, in the shops in downtown Florence is working. To order. The act was signed yesterday to regulate the hours of trading in fixed place within the City for 2011. Apart from the institutionalization of the opening of shops on the occasion of Labour Day (in the center closure is mandatory only for Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year, while out there are also Easter, Easter Monday, April 25, May 1 and August), which had been the surprise of this year, the main new features are different.
In quick succession: the opening of the January 6, Epiphany, the beginning of the winter sales (date set by the Region), 21-day exception for operations outside the old town (18 including the last Sunday of each month, plus three public holidays) when the edge of the area is 23 wide, the power to open the first of May to the downtown shops, a small perimeter to define the perimeter of the old town (which now coincides with that of the UNESCO, that the avenues), a new regulatory for the initiatives of commercial areas (which will have four more exemptions, concert, in addition to 21), shorter hours (one hour) for auto-negotiation, closing at midnight in the center for food shops.
"After two months of consultation with trade associations, trade unions and consumers - says the Deputy Mayor Dario Nardella -, the City had the right and duty to decide, and so we did, using the principle of common sense. There was an intense confrontation, the administration has played an active and proactive, looking for consensus. We have not reached on all issues under discussion, but we believe that the budget is still positive. " Compared to the exemption granted for the May Day, Labor Day, Nardella does not hold back: "Florence is a city of tourism is that time of year and we have very large flows: in a time of crisis like the one we are living there was asked to use the power of openness ". In Italy there are cities that keep it closed (Rome, Milan, Pisa) and others that hold open (Venice, Naples, Siena) and therefore "there is no case Florence - the deputy mayor would like to stress - unless someone does not want create it. We believe that our commitment to the questions of the work is out of discussion on this issue and we do not accept lessons. "
In Tuscany there are therefore at least two models for the opening of the shops or not the May Day: "We hope that the region as a regional law on trade that he is writing, tend to unify all", is the opinion of Nardella . Another new feature of the plan of the openings of 2011 is represented by that for the Epiphany, Jan. 6. Nardella explains: "This is a decision of the Region, which anticipated the sales, we have now, which we would have done without and which we feel is excessive in relation to the balance of the holiday. For this we will be closed on January 9, a Sunday, not to burden the total number of exemptions. " Words that do not like in the region, "say once that the balances for national decision, beginning January 6 in Tuscany and in all regions. You also agree that the ANCI has a council on Trade headed by Nardella, "points out the commissioner for trade Cristina Scaletti.
The region is running out to write the new law on trade. "We must review the regional law that allows these openings: we will do it quickly," said Governor Henry Smith after a month ago, the unions brought the signatures against the opening festivities. Meanwhile, it's crackdown on the sale of takeaway alcohol at night. I always announces Nardella: «Presumibilmente entro gennaio, dovrebbe essere pronta un'ordinanza per restringere ulteriormente l’orario serale nel quale le bevande alcoliche da asporto possono essere vendute». Il limite temporale di base, fissato a mezzanotte e già anticipato alle 23 lo scorso anno con un’ordinanza firmata dal sindaco Matteo Renzi, «sarà portato - rivela il vicesindaco - alle 22 o alle 21. Resta da capire solo chi dovrà firmare, se il sindaco o il questore».
