Usually, I live in Manhattan, NYC, but now I am quarantined in Miami

How are you living the quarantine? Fears and dreams?

I don't have any dreams during this quarantine. I feel so low energy. I love to be out and about all the time and ti hang out with people so I am definitely suffering it. I feed my creativity in life and work with the inputs coming from the external world, people, places, travel, I'm always on the go. I love living in NYC because it's full of so many different people at all times, night and day, and there is som many cultural and music events going on at all times. The exact polar opposite of what we are living right now. On the other side, I am committed to being respectful of others, take care of myself and follow the rules. I respect a lot of people like authorities, doctors, nurses, that are working night and day to keep us safe. I am particularly worried about my parents that are over 65 and in Torino without me and without any close family members. I am also worried about humanity in general, one would hope that in 2020 these pandemics won't happen anymore or that we would be more equipped to get a vaccine right away. We invest so much money to go to Mars and to the Moon, and then we disregard our own health and the one of our planet. Such a failure for the human race overall. 

What is your soundtrack?

I listen to the NY governor Cuomo's press conferences every day and I keep NPR News in the background. Although I have to say, my friend, Camilla Tisi made a pretty sick Spotify playlist of songs from the 90s and I'm loving it. It makes me feel safe listening to old music that I am super familiar with and brings back my mind to happy times.
