Italy in the time of coronavirus (covid19)

Gli italiani sono a casa e non perdono la speranza. MoltI si dedicano alla famiglia e agli amici attraverso i social. Altri alla cucina.

 

I supermercati sono aperti. Alcuni i primi giorni sono stati presi d'assalto nella paura che non ci fosse più cibo ma in realtà non ci sono emergenze alimentari, si può fare la spesa facilmente mantenendo le distanze di sicurezza.

 

Ciò che però è stato notato è che in alcuni posti nel nord Italia, dopo le razzie degli acquisti, sugli scaffali erano rimasti solo i pacchi di penne lisce. Come mai? Gli italiani si dividono in due gruppi: chi pensa che la pasta rigata sia più saporita perché prende meglio il sugo e chi pensa che la pasta liscia sia più saporita perché cucina meglio.

 

È difficile trovare mascherine. Alcuni le preparano da soli.

Italians are staying at home and do not lose hope. Many dedicate their time to family and friends through social media. Others enjoy cooking.

 

Supermarkets are open. Some of them in the first few days were mobbed in fear that there was no more food but in reality there are no food emergencies. You can easily shop for groceries, as long as you keep the safety distances.

 

However, what has been noted is that in some places in northern Italy, after the raids on purchases, only the packs of penne lisce remained on the shelves. Why? Italians are divided into two groups: those who think that striped pasta is tastier because it retains sauce better and those who think that smooth pasta is tastier because it cooks better.

 

It is difficult to find masks. Some prepare them by themselves.
