Milan luxury stores keep shutters half-closed out of fear

Original: Paradoxical situation in Milan. We live in fear. In Galleria, Milan, the luxury stores didn't lower the shutter to close

Luxury boutiques in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are reportedly operating with their security shutters only partially raised, lifting them briefly to let customers in before closing again. The practice is described as a precaution against looting, and critics say it reflects a broader sense of insecurity in the city centre, calling the situation paradoxical for one of Italy's most famous shopping landmarks.

Why now: The image of guarded, half-shuttered luxury shops in a flagship Italian shopping arcade strikes people as a striking sign of urban insecurity.
