In this interview, host Sveva talks with Massimiliano Dona, president of the historic Unione Nazionale dei Consumatori, about his new book "Il carrello dalla parte del manico" and the broader landscape of consumer rights in Italy. Dona recounts the evolution from the 1950s, when consumer protections were virtually nonexistent, to today’s extensive legal framework, emphasizing the need to make those rights effective in everyday life. He explains how supermarket design—product placement, shelf height, and the so‑called "avancassa" (the waiting area before checkout)—is deliberately engineered to steer shoppers toward impulse purchases, often hiding staple items like salt, sugar, and flour in less‑visited zones. He offers concrete strategies for more conscious shopping: planning a weekly list, allocating sufficient time, choosing products placed at eye level, and avoiding last‑minute holiday purchases. The conversation also shifts to upcoming changes in the Italian gas and electricity markets, clarifying that consumers will not be left without service and advising a cautious, price‑and‑reliability‑focused approach when selecting a supplier. The interview concludes with practical tips for holiday shopping, such as buying non‑perishable items early to save money.
