Milan luxury stores keep security shutters down amid fear

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

Luxury shops in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II are operating with security shutters mostly closed, admitting customers only briefly by lifting them one at a time. The stores reportedly fear being looted if the shutters stay up, and staff describe the situation as a sign that people in the city live in fear. The practice has drawn attention as a stark symbol of insecurity in one of Milan's most famous shopping destinations.

Why now: The unusual sight of high-end boutiques operating behind half-closed security shutters has struck people as a dramatic sign of rising crime and fear in central Milan.
