How are you living the quarantine? Fears and dreams?

I wake up every morning at the same time I used to when I had to go to work: 7 am. I have a regular cup of espresso for breakfast. Then I spend something like 334.497.495.000 hours scrolling through social media. Around 8.30 am I dedicate some time to stretching and exercising as old people on transatlantic flights (that's me). Then I work, even if these days there's not much to do. I watch a lot of movies, read, study Japanese and I try to do all those things that you feel like you never had time to do. Something like make order in my house. Seriously, I'm good: Marie Kondo asked me on FaceTime if I want to be her tutor.

I think that media have handled the whole situation so badly, trying only to sell copies and gain views on their websites. There's been completely unnecessary sensationalism, and the worst is that it was driven by them who had to discern the right information to help the Country. Instead, newspapers and media they just generated panic. That's what it happened when they published the draft of the first official ordinance: it was this panic that caused the general exodus towards the South of Italy, that later helped the spread of the virus. That's why I tend to keep me updated looking directly at the source, through the Government and Minister's websites.

My biggest fear is people who still don't get how much they need to stay at home. Instead, they keep going out and that is not respectful for everyone who's suffering and especially to the ones who are working to save us all, as doctors and nurses. I'm also concerned about how Italy will manage the post-crisis, especially from an economic perspective. I miss my family and friends. I can't stand the online happy-hours and stuff like that (LOL) and I miss going out and training on open-air, whether is running or playing soccer; but people must understand that they shouldn't do anything outside of their homes.

What is your soundtrack?

I listen to many many things. I'm always adding songs to my playlist. Right now, thanks to TikTok I'm obsessed with Bando by Anna (LOL)
