Confesercenti campaign for local commerce protection

Overview

Confesercenti has initiated a national signature collection campaign to advocate for a legislative proposal titled ‘Measures for the urban regeneration of proximity commerce and services’. The initiative aims to combat commercial desertification by protecting local businesses, artisan workshops, and neighborhood services.

A primary feature of the proposal is the establishment of Special Proximity Economic Zones (ZESpro). These zones would grant regions and autonomous provinces the authority to implement revitalization programs, including tax incentives, administrative simplifications, and dedicated financial support. To fund these efforts, the proposal suggests utilizing a portion of taxes collected from e-commerce sales to assist physical retailers.

The campaign seeks to collect 50,000 signatures to urge government action. Support has been noted in Bolzano, Umbria, and Ischia, as well as in Grosseto, where officials described proximity businesses as ‘territorial safeguards’.

In a recent development, Florence Mayor Sara Funaro signed the popular legislative proposal, signaling support from both the Municipality of Florence and the Metropolitan City of Florence. Mayor Funaro emphasized that protecting local commerce is linked to residential stability, noting that accessible services are essential for making urban neighborhoods ‘livable and attractive’.
