How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

Quarantine is a great stand by. You never know what awaits you next and this leaves you with a sense of deafening anguish. Stopping is important but I can feel the fear of standing still. My quarantine started late compared to the general lockdown because I was abroad for work. I hadn't realized exactly what was going on and when I landed in Rome the police said: "Well and now where will you have to lock yourself up?". I went to the countryside to my parents in Puglia. And so, without realizing it, I was locked up in the countryside with them with whom I had not lived for over 10 years, with a suitcase for a weekend that started on February 23 and has not ended yet.

Here time passes slowly, nobody is seen through the window even by mistake and you can't breathe everything that is going on. Yet you realize that in your city, in Milan, in the home that you left upside down with the radiators on because it was winter, something great is happening. Coming home, in a Milan different from how I left it in the midst of its beauty during the last fashion week, is scary yes. 

I was catapulted into a life opposite to my usual routine made of great walks in the fields, learning to cut the grass, sports and endless readings (here the connection is bad!). The quarantine has given me the relationship with nature and the dream of being able to live it more and more because it is beautiful.

What is your soundtrack?

It's hard to pick just one, here are my favs at the moment: 

• GOODBYE KISS – KASABIAN 
• LA CANZONE DEI VECCHI AMANTI – FRANCO BATTIATO
• 6’S TO 9’S – BIG WILD FEAT RATIONALE
