There shouldn't be 'one-size-fits-all' approach and if shopkeepers are getting government's support to stay in business, than it is very likely that it is also to help them with their rent payments.

In Belgium:

www.rtbf.be/info/economie/detail_coro...'However, retail and catering must be supported, argue the UPSI and BLSC. The two organizations welcome the taking of " necessary " measures for traders and restaurant operators, such as "short-time working, the cash position of affected companies, etc. "
But shops still bear many charges, such as rent, property tax, local taxes, etc. " While the most important period of the year for traders will be largely lost ", underline the federations.'
It should be similar also in Italy.
