Milan luxury stores keep shutters half-closed amid security fears

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 are adopting a cautious way of operating: shutters are only lifted to let individual customers in, then immediately closed again. According to reports circulating in Italy, store staff fear looting and no longer feel safe keeping their doors fully open during business hours. Commentators describe the situation as paradoxical for one of Europe's most famous shopping arcades, and many are debating what it says about safety in central Milan.

Why now: The image of guarded, semi-closed luxury shops in an iconic Milan location is striking and feeds ongoing debate about urban security in Italy.
