I have been out of blogging since late September. Naples (South Italy) and its West surroundings are experiencing an earthquake almost every 48 hours. There are 24 craters located to the West of Naples, most of them are under the sea water and on the Island of Ischia. I am worried because the risk of eruption may increase, and my mother and my two sisters live there in Naples.
As request by Nicole (through her post published on September 18th), I have taken some pictures that show how food's price has increased in Italy.
As it is known, since early 2022 purchasig power has been decreasing sharply also in EU contries too.
The above picture shows walnuts € 5.99 per kilo (shipped from Chile 🤨) and chestnuts € 7.99 per kilo ❗
I hope my pictures can explain how much have fruit and veggies' prices gone up: people are buying the green lemons above € 5.99 per kilo.
Not to mention of rising prices of oil, gas and building materials used in construction, such as bricks, concrete, cupper, tiles and wood.
It seems the seagull is waiting for lunch, considering that the grocery store and the fishmonger are there.
...on a happier note, yesterday I read an article that engery prices are expected to go down. We will have to wait and see!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great news!
DeleteHi Giorgio...
ReplyDeleteI talk about the earthquake and tremors, I heard and read.
I read that in Naples in the hospital there was an evacuation drill....
This is very sad information. I hope that bad things will not happen....
There are no earthquakes in Poland, but I have had 3 times flooding and 3 times water in the house....
Giorgio, my friend, I talk about bad economic situation, in Poland it’s similar... The prices of basic products go up every day... Electricity, gas, water... the fees are very high. Fuel, too. Loans have high interest rates. In addition, the spring and summer were bad for farmers. People are living worse and worse.
My friend, I fear what will happen to Europe, because the problems are in a large part of it...
Dear Anna,
DeleteHigh rate of inflaction has been affecting our lives since early 2022. That's why the degree of wealth and material comfort available to many Europeans has been decreasing.
Your pears are certainly expensive. It is only about 1 Euro per kg here. Then chestnuts are certainly way cheaper than ours about 12 Euro per kg here.
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought of chestnuts € 12 per kg!
DeleteStay safe and your family, I think that food is expensive everywhere.
ReplyDeleteTrue. Purchase power has been decreasing around the world!|
DeleteHello, dear Giorgio! I am so sorry! Take care of yourself, your Mom and both sisters. Stay healthy and happy!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support, Irina!
DeleteEn mi país que está en Latino América también todo esto muy caro. Te mando un beso. https://enamoradadelasletras.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that wages are not rising as well.
DeleteThere are a lot of problems with food lately
ReplyDeleteTrue!
DeleteHello Giorgio
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed seeing your photographs.
Food prices here in the UK have also gone up, and up.
Many are finding it difficult to manage and are having to rely on food banks https://www.trusselltrust.org/what-we-do/
Our energy prices have recently gone down by a very small amount, but there is already talk about them going up and again next year.!
It seems worldwide we are all experiencing cost of living increases.
I do hope your family will keep safe, it is concerning for you.
My good wishes.
All the best Jan

ReplyDeleteBeautiful images. Prices increase even after the Meloni's law because nobody is obliged to accept that limit. Supermarkets decide if fixing that limit for all the products that the law is about or only some of them but they can decide to ignore it.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Meloni's law made me laugh!
DeleteΤο κόστος ζωής ανεβαίνει δραματικά παντού, εάν ήθελαν οι κυβερνήσεις θα μπορούσαν να είχαν κάνει κάτι για αυτή την αισχροκέρδεια
