WHAT WILL HAPPEN AFTER THE ITALIAN LOCKDOWN? 3 JOURNALS IN COMPARISON

Italy will be in Lockdown at least until the next 3 of May

Italy is still in lockdown. According to the Prime Minister Conte, it will be at least until the next 3 of May. He had extended the lockdown, before expected until the 14 April. The news was quite predictable, because the number of infected people is still high and there is no safety to start again the normal life. Anyway, almost all companies were disappointed caused they are still closed, instead abroad the economy is already taking off again.

Now all the Italians have the same big question: what will happen after the 3 May? Will be everything as before? Of course, no one has the answer and it’s important to keep daily updated with the spread of the pandemy, but it is quite probably negative. And now the major Italian newspapers are trying to answer, to give to the readers' some relevant information.



3 Italian Journals in comparison 

The journalist Alessandra Ziniti wrote in La Repubblica that it won’t be a full comeback to the normality, but at least the business will start again. The main opponent, Il Corriere della Sera didn’t answer the question in a macroeconomic dimension but it took another path, reporting something of interest for the common people. According to it, probably, with the 4 may Italians will walk and run again, but always alone and protected by a mask. In addition, the government is thinking to open again the public parks. On the other hand, Il Sole 24 ore focused on the economic side of the phenomenon and differentiated it based on the regions. According to the journal, Lombardia will be ready to open everything again, following the rules: respecting social distance and making masks and serological tests mandatory. Il Sole 24 ore tried even to make some predictions:
Probably the offices and the companies will open firstly, for economic reasons, followed by the schools and university. On the other hand, the president of Toscana, Enrico Rossi, said that only some companies will open, especially the ones projected for the export, in order to avoid the competition. He didn't refers about the education field. 

The picture doesn’t seem very clear, the information are many and sometimes opposite. No one knows exactly what will happen after the next 3 may. The main journals tried to answer the readers’ questions and worries, and each one with a different approach. La Repubblica was more general and regarding all Italy, instead Il Sole 24 Ore differentiated all the regions and focused on the economic side of the phenomenon, and finally Il Corriere della Sera had a more personal, superficial approach and tried to answer to the common’s people need.

We will see only after the deadline what really will happen and if the lockdown will finish or not. For the moment we can only keep updated everyday.

WILL COVID-19 SAVE OUR PLANET?

Covid-19 and climate change have some features in common. They have been both developed due to the relationship between humans and nature in the modern society. They are both global problems and they are responsible of many deaths. For both problems the cause is unknown and we should have been more prepared.  With the virus, many companies closed, and in Italy people are still living in lockdown. As a consequence, the climate seems to have changed. From the cities we can finally see the stars at night and when we breath, the air is clean. Can we be positive for the future? Can we think that Covid-19 had at least one positive effect?   THE IMMEDIATE POSITIVE EFFECT According to Lauri Myllyvirta, a Finnish analyst for the Centre for research on Energy and Clean air , the virus in China brought to the closure of many productive activity and, as a consequence, the reduction of 25% of Co2 emissions during the month of February compared to the previous year.

MASCULINITIES. LIBERATION THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY

Who run the world? Women are running for their empowerment and freedom from the patriarchate. The " Me too " movement is only an example of how women are creating a group - build on solidarity - to bring awareness on the rights of females.  Beyoncé, in one of her most famous songs, sings  “ who run the world? Girls ” . A toxic idea of masculinity  But what about men? “The image of masculinity has come into sharper focus, with ideas of toxic and fragile masculinity permeating today’s society”. This is the reason behind the new exposition at Barbican in London and called “ Masculinities. Liberation through Photography ” .  In the traditional society not all men have the power and the freedom to decide who they are, only the white straight men from the middle class, namely the hegemonic class. And the other? They have no spaces to express themselves and most of the time they are brought to be ashamed of themselves. As Luke Turner wrote in " Putting men in

THE MAN OF THE MODERNITY

Who is the man of the modernity? I asked this question to myself so many times ... He is no more a perfect proportioned body as he was considered in the Ancient Greece and captured by the sculptor  Prassitele,  but neither a moral father who has the power to take decision for all the family, as the stereotypical image during the Middle Age (lead in the Italian movie  Padre Padrone  of Taviani's brothers). Recently in Italy happened something regarding this: The Fashion Week took place in Milan and the Gucci's new seasons collection was debated a lot. Why? Because the  Manifesto , ideated by the art director  Alessandro Michele  called  Masculine, Plural  delineated the man of the modernity, who is free from society and from the classical rules usually attributed to a man (like not wearing a skirt, for example). An other example can be found in the last Sanremo's edition, which is the Festival of the Italian song and where every year, 24 singers
