Rome, August 15, 2023 – And sweet life is. Despite crazy revenues and skyrocketing prices, international VIPs won’t blink an eye and during the summer holidays they allowed themselves to be seduced by Italy. However, this is the summer of rising prices: thanks to fuel prices (which soar above two euros per liter on motorways), all price lists show increases, often in double digits. Nothing will save from high prices, not a lunch in mid-August, which will cost families 330 million euros, or a vacation in Italy, where the number of compatriots will be reduced by 30%. According to chef Gianfranco Wissani, it will be “a subdued mid-August, shopping has become a luxury.”
