«This is my father. A man who was made from nothing, from the poverty of a family of Venetian sharecroppers. A large family where women said they were not hungry just to leave food for their children. Humble people, without many ornaments on their heads ». Thus begins the post published on Saturday afternoon. Facebook gives Elena Tonon, owner, together with his father Giuseppe, of the restaurant-ice cream parlor Ca ‘Lozzio from Oderzo (province of Treviso). In support, a photograph that speaks for itself: there really is him, “Beppo” -this is his historical nickname-, sitting at the entrance of the structure in his elegant blue uniform. The mask that hangs from one ear looking for answers. “Beppo is there motionless, thoughtful after discovering that we might have to close our business at 6 in the afternoon and we shouldn’t even open on Sunday, a guaranteed collection day for a business like ours – his daughter’s post continues. “This is the final blow” he told me”.
In a few hours, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte would have signed the new Dpcm, which will remain in force (at least) until November 24. Confirmed the closure of the premises at 18. Save in extremisinstead, the opening on Sundays. Little consolation. Beppo’s fears, in fact, remain those of a whole category, already widely proven by the spring lockdown. “I’m sorry but I’m not Tonon wrote again. People like me, who have a little sensitivity, have their hearts broken. We are not people who are saying that Covid does not exist, we are people who have always had a dignity. And we want it back.
It went viral immediately, the publication sped up. almost 20,000 reactions and more than 6,000 actions in less than 24 hours. There were also numerous comments, all very supportive in this difficult time. “We weren’t expecting it in the least, neither me nor dad – Elena admits to Messenger Service -. It is something that has filled our hearts. We were even contacted by the regional president Luca Zaia, therefore we really feel everyone’s support“But the problems, sadly, persist:”Sunday opening saves only a small part of our budget – follow -. Here we are not in Rome or Milan: there are no tourists who allow you to have an income even to eat. Thus, if we really have to close at 18, we could also keep it closed directly. Unfortunately we feel represented by people who do not know our sector. In the words of the restorer, the feeling of having been the victim of an injustice is clear: «I repeat, we are humble people. Work gives us dignity. But if this very job is taken away from us, how can we continue to live with dignity? And in our situation now there are many other families who, like us, do everything possible to bring bread home at the end of the month. But in this sense I try to think positively: if the love we have received does not bring bread home, it certainly makes us sleep better. We are still amazed and excited.
