Gaetano Prati
Gaetano Prati is an 81-year-old Italian immigrant who has been running the Imbiss Riviera in Zurich since 1982. Originally from Sicily, he moved to Switzerland in the 1960s and started his business after facing health challenges that prevented him from continuing his work as a carpenter. Known for his warm hospitality and affordable prices, Prati has built a loyal customer base over the decades. However, the family business now faces closure as the city plans to end its lease, prompting Prati and his family to fight for its survival.
