Support a jumpstart for Norcia businesses
By Hilary White
This is a post via Facebook by my friend Emanuele Persiani, the guy who does all our computer and telecommunications work in Norcia.
“I wish I had a place to work” a Go Fund Me campaign aimed not only at getting ABC Online back up and running, but via the revival of inernet and other communications in Norcia, the rest of the business community of Norcia as well.
We had a small shop in Norcia. Even a house in Norcia.
After August 24, 2016 we had to leave the house.
After October 26, 2016 we were told we had to leave the store because it was dangerous.
After October 30, 2016, we can no longer enter into Norcia.
Now we would like to work, but we must do it now in order to stay in Norcia and continue to follow the customers, our web marketing, our phone shop. We just need a little space. So we ask those who can to help us to take a shop on wheels or a prefabricated structure. If you want to donate some money to give us a structure to work would you do us a GREAT pleasure!
Thanks to everyone who read this message. If you want to send me. Emanuele Persians / ABC Online / ValnerinaOnLine – Norcia
(Also, he owes me a new DVD player that I bought but didn’t work and got sent to Foligno for repair and I never saw again. And I’m not going to see it unless the shop gets going again, so…)
Here’s an article (in Italian) where Emanuele lays out his idea for “Little Norcia” a tent business district where the small businesses of Norcia can get going again and create a foundation for daily life in our beloved town.
Small Norcia, the proposed exchange Valnerina charges down economy NORCIA – … Behind those cranes that are giving support there is’ the retail outlet ABC Online , the micro company that deals with these social channels. ABC Online was on the ground floor of the Palace Counale whose bell tower, every moment threatening to fall. He was’ them to assist with many services (web maker, photography street view, support social networks, official center digital signature, TIM center … etc). As ABC Online there are dozens of activities ‘commercial that, at a critical time like this POST earthquake of October 30, destructive in many ways, you are faced with a different problem: HOW TO ACTIVATE AGAIN HIS ACTIVITY’ COMMERCIAL . The situation is not ‘at all simple, each company has a different story, each company MUST start.
How to do? The municipality has decided to dedicate an area for commercial use, probably creating a new batch urbanized in a position to decide, create a LITTLE NORCIA where to find ALL SERVICES PREVIOUSLY ACTIVE. How can you help us?
The idea is to create a functioning business district where the small local companies, the mom and pop places like our buddies at the produce store, the lottomatica, the clothes and shoe shops, the farmacies and even the sausage and prosciutto manufacturers, etc. can get up and running again, at least enough to provide goods and services to the people who have elected to stay in Norcia.
Please go and support him if you can.
Thanks. It might make all the difference to get us all back home, and Norcia back to being a real town.
And share and repost, esp if you’ve got more people in your friends list than my little hundred or so…
