I liked this from an au pair in Italy in lockdown.
She said it was important to find positives too, like the fact the environment had been given a chance to flourish.
“There are dolphins in the harbour on the coast near Cinque Terre because of the reductions in boats and trade. The water in the canals of Venice has cleared up. You can see the swans have returned.
“Wild animals are appearing more in parks and woodland spaces too.”
The community spirit in Italy had provided a morale boost, too.
As well as locals singing and dancing on balconies, there had been “scheduled applause” for emergency services teams, torch light shows at night, and art hanging from balconies.
The artwork – often done by children – depicted rainbows with the words “andra tutto bene” – everything is going to be all right.
