It’s all but weird and impossible indeed: they told me how alive and happy they felt by “meeting” new people, using for instance free dating sites. At first it was just a way to let the time pass during those long and boring winter days, but for many of them, some new acquaintance become an interesting flirt and sometimes a new love.

Then summer came, Lockdown in Italy was over, and they were longing to meeting the girls and boys they’d be talking and chatting with during the previous months and, you know, Italians take romance very seriously!
