How has your everyday-life changed? What do you do to fulfill your day?
Before this situation of emergency, my daily life was marked by various university projects and my thesis path. I mostly spent my days in IED working with my classmates when all of a sudden my life changed radically. Precisely for this reason, I now try to keep myself busy, to be as productive as possible, even if sometimes I lose the perception of time. All this led me to organize my days methodically. During this period I keep constantly updated on the latest news and I have also had the opportunity to try some new recipes, follow several webinars and finally do the chores of the house that I have been postponing for some time. Despite the greater time available to everyone, taking breaks is a fundamental element, at least if you are able to not loose yourself in them!
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?
Surely having more time available makes work flexible, that means that you have the possibility to organize your schedules and to work in the moments in which you feel more productive. To stay active, it is essential to do physical activity ad alternate it with time in which to totally empty one's mind. For both work and leisure, we often remain from morning to night in front of devices such as computers, televisions or smartphones - but sometimes it is important to detach ourselves completely from technology in order to appreciate anything else.
What is your biggest fear right now?
My mother is at risk and my biggest fear is that something could happen to her or my loved ones because of irresponsible people who don't respect precautionary measures.
What will you do once all of this is over?
Absolutely. Since my course of study is almost finished, I often ask myself how the working world will change after this situation. The world has overcome several crises throughout history and I hope that in this case too our Country will be able to emerge stronger than before.
