“This new investment is another sign of our commitment to the people and communities of Italy, creating 1,100 new permanent jobs and helping us deliver to even more customers across the country.

“I would like to highlight we implemented over 150 safety measures to face the Covid emergency, ensuring we can continue to serve communities while taking care of our employees.”

Amazon, which entered Italy in 2010, has already invested more than €5.8bn and employs 8,500 people in the country.
