(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 2 - An ex priest has reopened Italy's
oldest grocery store near Perugia.
The cleric, Alphonse Uwemeye, chose May 1 as the symbolically
important date to reopen the historic shop belonging to the
Jachetti family, founded in 1832 in Monteleone di Spoleto, an
Umbrian hamlet with 500 souls.
Girolamo, aka Jimmi, was the last Jachetti to run the store,
closing it last December after 40 years when he retired.
"Then we got the chance to reopen and I'm so happy we did, and
the shop will always bear the Jachetti family sign," Father
Alphonse, 62, from Rwanda, told ANSA. (ANSA).
