For them the government has not planned anything: And so Marco Bedolo and Michela Fino have already had to put their cold table bar up for sale in the heart of Milan, after having lost something like 90-100 thousand euros in eight months . The reason? Surrealist: they had opened it, investing all their savings and even those of the family, in November 2019. And the executive had not thought of companies like his. “We only take the 600 euros,” says Marco. Not even a tip, if you think about the approximately 8 thousand euros of fixed expenses per month, including bills, two employees to pay. And a rent to grow, from 3,000 euros per month plus VAT. A true tsunami in the life of a couple with two children aged 2 and 8, forced into confinement by those who then do not put their wallets in the hands of the damage caused: “I had managed a restaurant in Piazza Navona and another in Trastevere in Rome , another here in Milan tells Marco and when the opportunity presented itself … ». Total investment, about 300 thousand euros, about seventy of which with a bank loan. Others come from relatives. The entrances to the houses will come from that room. “Suddenly comes the first confinement and the promise of compensation. We discovered that we are not entitled to anything except a rental tax credit for the month of March. We work with fresh materials, we make sandwiches, meat tartare, fish and so we are forced to throw it all away. Meanwhile, the bills don’t stop. Neither rent nor wages. Money disappears by the thousands at a time. The recent opening also excludes the loan guaranteed by the State, the famous 30 thousand euros with attached bureaucratic odyssey to get them: “Only the bank comes to receive us, granting us a new mortgage of 15 thousand euros and postponing the payment of the previous one for two years. But with that money you have to survive. In May, the nightmare seems to be over. It reopens, not without first having done the sanitization and also the disinfestation in the area. “We were trying to get back, but the second block cut off our legs.” Also because they discover that not even this time the government has agreed to compensate them. “We have run out of all the funds. We managed thanks to the family. We have already sold some equipment: refrigerator, dishwasher, tables and chairs. And we put the business up for sale. The offers? Calling them ridiculous is not enough: an entrepreneur put 15 thousand euros on the plate ». But Marco does not give up: “We are going to sue the State,” says the well-known criminal lawyer Fabio Schembri: “The government owes them compensation.”
