This book is a lively and intimate collections of the author’s original essays, diaries, and other texts written in Rome – the capital of Europe’s first coronavirus outbreak. Faced with a changing society on the one hand and loneliness on the other, quarantine restrictions remind him of further tragedies, such as refugees being rescued in cities, devastated by earthquakes. The author handles personal crises with a lot of humor and irony, while attending others’ misfortunes with compassion and a profound understanding. Revisiting stories he covered as a journalist, he confronts them from a personal, warmhearted, more human perspective. Indeed, this book wears two faces: one smiling, the other crying.
