Paolo Pellizzari has traveled around the world in the quest of small family shops. He visited cities such as La Havana, La Paz, Odessa, Addis Ababa, Los Angeles, New York, London, Shanghai, Hanoi and many others. The purpose of the book is twofold. First, he wants to show what he calls the "Eco-Diversity" of the world, that all these little businesses reflect passion, culture, taste, often happiness and balance. His work is not naTve, his subjects are vulnerable, sometimes fragile against the changes of our society and our consumer habits. Pellizzari also has a lot of respect for his subjects. They can teach us basic rules of commerce forgotten in our modern world. Each shop owner is treated as an artist with his masterpiece at his back. Each strategy is clear and readable. For his work Paolo Pellizzari uses a panoramic camera in order to capture all the details making the picture. The book is illustrated with quotes from leaders in the retail industry making it inspiring material for all those interested in commerce or who identify themselves as talented retailers.
