About
Good evening, my name is Salvatore Vella, for about 25 years I worked in Italy in the leather goods and accessories sector on my own, in 2005 I decided to move to Venezuela given that in the previous years I had made small real estate investments in the aforementioned country and undertook the same job making small imports from Italy.
In 2007 the national government took control of the ports and from there my problems with importing began since, I made the decision to stop due to the continuous looting by the port authorities, however, apart from paying the respective taxes and extortion and the economic distortion of the country it was no longer possible to continue this type of work. I still had another card to play, some land I owned. When I set off again BUT.
I begin the construction of several townhouses and in 2012 I begin pre-selling them, also calculating future inflation. The following year saw the death of President Chavez which put the whole country in turmoil regarding the economic aspect, causing an inflation that was difficult to predict, so I found myself with a building that had already been sold but had to be finished with the prices of materials skyrocketing.
Despite this, last year, among many difficulties, I managed to hand over the townhouses to their respective owners, leaving me without a penny.
2017 is the height of the abyss, I have properties to sell, which no one is buying due to the country risk and at the same time I have been immobilized in Venezuela without any options because at the moment the country is paralyzed at every level.
Simply put, twenty-first century socialism has made me fail for working honestly.
Nice experience but I won't give up on getting back into the game
Kind regards
Interests: sports, socialising
