Amid COVID-19 Pandemic, What Daily Life Is Like in Italy Now

Italy has been hit hard by coronavirus deaths, with over 13,000 total coronavirus fatalities to date. "The worst part's been witnessing all these elderly people just fade away and die by the hundreds every day," says Aura Latorre, a Venezuelan immigrant who now resides in southern Italy. She shares on the podcast what it’s like to live in a country under quarantine, how daily life has changed, the attitude of the Italian people, what she hopes Italians will learn from this time, and much more.
