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

My everyday life was turned upside down: to start, I came back at my parents' place in Rome. I left Milan the moment the first news about COVID-19 spread out. For now, beside online classes, I try to workout as much as I can to compensate the lack of the long walks I took around Milan. I listen to tutorials on YouTube both for working out and cooking. Actually, I have become quite good when it comes to cook. I am trying new dishes from different cultures, mostly Asian and South-American. I like to try new things. Beside that, I am very grateful because I got the chance to spend more time with my family.

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?

The best way to stay creative is to exercise our minds with daily practice that stimulates our creativity. Of course, reading is one of the best instruments to do that. Books, articles, news, but also trying new stuff, focusing on all the passions we had left behind, giving ourselves some daily goals, challenging ourselves: all of this, in my humble opinion, helps people increasing their creativity.

What is your biggest fear right now?

My biggest fear is to not be able to find a job once I will have finished my studies, because of the economical crisis that the Country is facing right now.

What will you do once all of this is over?

It is not easy to think of a future far from face masks and hands sanitizers. It will take time to come back to normal as we knew it, but I don't think that we have to exclude this opportunity yet. There will be consequences even for what concerns human relationships and the way we relate one with each other. Still, I imagine a future where we can value the little things of life, things that contemporary society forgot and that is slowing rediscovering.
