Milan, Italy

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

Honestly, almost for the better, I used to divide myself between work in Switzerland and lessons in Milan. It was a heartbreak. Now I can do both from home, but I have to say I really miss going out for the apertivi and human relations in general. I'm happy anyway because now I can have a more relaxed rhythm, but it's the only positive point I can find.

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?

I just keep on reading, writing and watching documentaries that I never had time to watch before.

What is your biggest fear right now?

Right now I hope that my father will recover from his illness as well as all his other medical colleagues. I hope that the economy will survive with the minimum possible damage and that Italy will soon activate the aid policies it continues to talk about.

What will you do once all of this is over?

On a business level, I expect a boom in orders and transactions. On a personal-emotional level, I fear it will be devastating. I think we will all have difficulty giving a hug, entering a crowded place or taking public transport. I think there are instincts of protection that we'll have a hard time losing before we go back to our old lives. The consequences will be devastating for any kind of relationship and it tears me apart. I hope that people will soon overcome fear and that common sense will triumph, so that we can return back to who we were, just with a few more precautions. I hope that the streets of Milan will be the same as before, with bars and clubs full again. The first thing I will do will be an aperitif, followed by a dinner and a nightlife, although I can already imagine the line for Plastic.
