The patience during the lockdown In march 2020, Italy had to choose a very difficult decision: forcing all citizens to quarantine themselves. It wasn't a simple decision, since the Country is not going well economically. My family and I had to stay at home for almost 2 months and it would have been much easier if we were in a house all for us. Instead, we live in a condominium with other families. One of them had two children, very loud and uneducated: they used to play instruments every day, cry and make fuss. It was unbearable...Imagine being stuck in your house and having these monsters screaming every hour: A NIGHTMARE. Fortunately, at May we were free to go out (wearing the mask, of course) and me and my sister decided to go out for a walk every afternoon; we live near the Dolomites mountains so the air is very clean and fresh. Right now, the situation in Italy is much better: stores, restaurants, bars are open. It's up to the citizens' common sense not being too close to others or kiss them on cheeks. We still have to wear masks and when we enter in a closed building we have to use an hygiene soap for our hands. Those who don't follow these simple rules are going to be fined (400€!). In quarantine, I knew I couldn't stay in the couch and eating for boredom so I've decided to watch youtube fitness videos and bring the gym in my camera. My family and I tried to spend time together, watching movies, playing boardgames, making pizza at home. It's very important to not forget about your body because, as the poet Giovenale said: "Mens sana in corpore sano" (healthy mind in an healthy body).
