The street below was still quite deserted and quiet, considering that it was Saturday. It was rather bleak to see a person with mask holding an umbrella alone in a deserted road under the fine rain, in an empty bus stop, waiting for a bus which never arrive.
The usual supermarket was with queue waiting at the entrance, due to the at least one meter rule, the queue was extended till the corner of the building.
So we went back to the other supermarket with the chinese girl at the cashier.
There were customers in the supermarket, we hesitated to get in, so we waited outside. Just a moment later, there was already a queue of 3, 4 persons behind us, each maintained a distance of about 1 meter and no one was making any noise.
I never knew that Italians can be so disciplined and quiet.
On the way home, noticed a piece of white cloth hung on the balcony of a building, a rainbow was designed on it, with ' Andrà tutto bene ' written on it and with the names of the two young artists.
Normally, Saturday evening in the center is crowded and loud, but this Saturday, there were just the empty streets accompanying the equally lonely street lamps.
Friday evening, residents in many area of the city were performing music and songs on their balcony in their individual home, to boost the morale.
Perhaps everything is going to be fine.

Wow...I have to hand it to the Italians, for they seem to have taken this virus very seriously on time. Your photos are haunting, and your text as well. Stay safe.
It's strange seeing your city that way, but your last words are hopeful.
