When a virus becomes the enemy of Italians leisure. - a podcast by BPI

Italy was the first Western country to impose severe restrictions on movement to contain the illness. But after more than 2 weeks the curbs were imposed, the disease is still spreading and hospitals in the north are at breaking point. Italy is suffering the second worst outbreak in the world, with more deaths than in any other country outside China.

How Italians are reacting on the global Covid - 19 crisis, what changes are visible in the Italian´s society. What the ongoing restriction, the high numbers of deaths and oncoging isolation would do to the society? And how fragile is the democratic system? Today with professor Emilio Cocco from Universita' di Teramo, Teramo, Italy.
