The coronavirus outbreak has completely turned our lives upsidedown. Before this global crisis, it was awkward to see lines of people patiently queueing outside to get into almost empty stores. Today, such a thing has become the rule. For the lucky ones who are still employed, it might seem odd to work from home.

It is even stranger to see very little traffic on the streets and our beloved towns being eerily desolate. Nature is slowly taking over our cities, as residents spotted foxes and flamingos in Milan, dolphins in Venice, as well as ducks on the Spanish steps, one of the most famous attractions in Rome.
