You have to let them work in peace.” The Roccuzzo business has been in Rosario for more than 40 years. It began in 1982, with “Lelé”, Antonela’s grandmother, who had a neighborhood pantry. Nine years later came the expansion: it became a chain of neighborhood supermarkets that today has eight branches, although “Leo’s” father-in-law only keeps one: the location of the shooting.
