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

It has changed for the simple fact that I am used to always run here and there, I love to change environment, places where to study, to visit; I love to take long walks and bike rides and discover the city. Now, since I can't move from my home, beside taking online classes I focus on more "static" activities that allow me to keep searching about things that I love: I play the piano, I watch more movies and I read much more. The thing that relaxes me the more and sets me free when I am having a hard time is to draw. I have many notebooks on which I sketch, project and translate all the facts and the thoughts that I find funny.

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?

For sure, to keep my mind busy with something that sets my thoughts free. In my case, the best thing to do is to draw, but it could be any other thing, from cooking to play an instrument. It is very important to think about the situation without getting obsessed with it, always thinking about what will happen next and enjoy the present at the same time. Beside, this is the greatest opportunity to pay attention to something that we usually ignore. Boredom is capital in the creative process.

Another thing that I think is important is to not change our habits: it is fundamental to keep our schedules as the same they were before the pandemic, for example to sleep at night and work at day. When I start my week, I write my calendar on a blank page that I hang on the wall, with all the deadlines and projects that I have to respect.

For me it is very important to take care of my beauty routine, so I try to dress up as I have to go out; even if no one can see me, it makes me feel good.

What is your biggest fear right now?

My only fear is to come back to a reality where people are scared of each other. Social distance will go on for a long time, but I hope that each one of us will know how to handle it the best that we can, so to not be too much suspicious.

What will you do once all of this is over?

My hope is that we will all be much more careful when we are in crowded places and pay attention to the weakest people. On the contrary, I am less optimistic about the economical future of our Country; still, I think that we are capable of many things and we will know how to rise back from this situation, reinventing ourselves and finding new and special solutions.
