How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?

Spending every single moment of my day at home encouraged me to use every single moment of my days to do something different. Often I feel the desire to go out, to get back to normal; however, although the situation is complicated and difficult to accept, I try not to think about it too much and I relax my mind. The days, ironically, flow quickly: I study, read, work out, cook, play music. 

Your work is built on creativity. While we’re all in quarantine, what is your solution to keep on being creative? Where do you find your inspiration in this moment?

Now we all have more time to expand our creativity, no matter what it is. Reading, drawing, reading magazines and keeping informed might turn out to be excellent solutions to prevent it from fading into the monotony of these days. Completely relaxing the mind is also a way to give space to positive thoughts and new ideas, maybe even listening to good music.

What is your biggest fear right now?

Certainly that the crisis goes on for several more weeks, producing an even stronger impact on everyone's life.

What will you do once all of this is over?

It will be a very slow recovery period, difficult for the market in all countries. However, the economy and technology will face it: we are already witnessing the birth of many remote services thanks to the web, from the so-called "smart working" to online fitness classes: ways that will help companies to reorganize and restart their activities. In addition, health systems and scientific research will also be strengthened, evolving considerably. There will also be positive results in reducing environmental pollution. However, all of us will have to be ready to adapt to a new way of life, of working, of managing and of creating new relationships, particularly in the early periods following the end of the emergency.
