Discovering the Value of Serenity During the Pandemic in Italy
How an Italian Man is Navigating Life During the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020
His name is Marco. He is 65 years old and lives in the northeastern part of Italy, near Austria.
Marco is a teacher. In normal times his daily life spins around three centers: his job, his family, and some sport. Before the pandemic, he took his daughter to school, went to work, came back home and maybe took his daughter to the gym or something else. Then he spent the evening at home.
Because he is very interested in international news, Marco visits the daily websites of The New York Times, El Pais, Le Monde. His main Italian source of information is ANSA. He used to spend much time on the Internet trying to get informed about a lot of stuff.
On weekends his family used to walk in the neighborhoods and stop somewhere to eat pizza.
Life for Marco and his family has been very different since COVID 19 arrived in Italy.
