The Sport Boutique Alberti in Riva del Garda has recently been recognized as a historical shop of Trentino, a title that celebrates its long-standing commercial history. The owner has announced the installation of a black-and-white enlargement inside the store to highlight its connection to the historic center and the local community. The mayor and the councilor expressed their appreciation for this remarkable achievement, especially considering the challenges that many new businesses face in the city, where they often struggle to survive even a single season.
With over fifty years of presence in the same location and within the same merchandise sector, Ms. Gaupties attributed the success of the boutique to passion and a strong bond with the clientele. Her son Dimitri added that in an increasingly competitive market, human contact represents a fundamental distinguishing element to ensure the continuity of the business. To obtain the recognition as a historical shop, the establishment must maintain its original characteristics and possess significant elements from a historical and cultural perspective.
