There are more and more people getting out for a walk and more cars are going around, regardless the lockdown is till on.
Early in the morning at about 0930 hours, smokes were rising behind the blocks across the street, they were from the parallel street from home.
A shop selling fake flowers on the ground floor of a building was on fire, even though it was closed due to the lockdown. All the residents living above had to be evacuated. Fortunately, there was casualty.
Went to the market to get some traditional agnolotti for Easter.
The open air market which was very lively and vibrant is now souless. Rows of empty stalls were left in the market square, there were some people walking between the empty stalls and police were deployed at various position in the square.
The only stalls opened for business were those in the indoor market which was on the other side of the square.
Surprisingly, the entrance to the indoor market was not controlled. Anyone could just go in and out and nobody was checking the number of people inside the market, which is weired, A police car parked not far from the entrance and some policemen were standing there monituring the situation.
In the market, there were not many people, and everyone kept a personal safety distance in accordance with the rules.
Exited from the market, in front was the famously crowded and chaotic bus stop, there were quite a number of people waiting at the bus stop, but it was far less than weeks ago,
Since I was out, why not take a tour around the square to visualise the situation.
The part where they used to sell household goods was closed.
Outside the police post, a homeless had turned a stone bench into his bed.
Completed one round of the square, while heading home, saw two policemen were questioning and checking on a couple who were walking their dog.
Under the arcade on the side of the square, two homeless were still sleeping and one was busy feeding the wild pigeons.
Location : Piazza Della Republica
