A YEAR AFTER 

COVID

LETTER TO THE EDITOR 

Dear Editor, 

As an expat this magazine provided me with ideas on how to survive covid at home and around Italy. The regional 

lockdowns saddened me as I was hoping to explore Italy more, but this magazine made me realize there is still so 

much for me to do and see in the region of Lazio. Hopefully Italy will be open to exploration soon again, but until 

then I’ll be dreaming through this magazine. 

This team of creators aided readers into diving deeper on the issues Covid has caused for restaurant owners, expats, 

and Italian citizens. Bravo to all who contributed, as each article was well designed and provided thoughts and 

stories to open my eyes on better ways to deal with the effects of Covid and understand how others are surviving 

as well. 

I hope that the whole team continues to enjoy their time in Italy, especially through these tips that were provided. 

Best Regards, 

Ashley 

Dear Ashley, 

I’m glad that you enjoyed the 5th edition of Italy In General. This edition was created by a team who went out 

of their way to make the best magazine yet. The information and stories provided in the magazine were decided 

in a tactical way to guide readers through this tough time. As a society, we must come together as one, 

as it is not possible to survive covid alone. 

This semester was difficult as we dealt with hybrid situations and dealt with 2 school wide quarantines, but 

the team of wonderful women used their time wisely in order to build each article. Many articles dealt with 

in person situations such as interviews and photoshoots, but all covid guidelines were followed. Ideas for at 

home entertainment are here to make sure that you can have the best experience while being stuck inside 

your home. 

Here’s to another year. Make it a good one.

GASPING FOR 

AIR 

by Betelihem Mezgebe 

The trip to campus is as much part of the 

AUR experience as interacting with the 

school community. On an ordinary day, 

regardless of your means of choice, you 

witness the crowded roads filled with 

cars being impatiently driven by people 

who are in a rush to get somewhere- or 

perhaps you are one of those people in 

a rush. You see people eating and drinking 

on open spaces having random conversations. 

It is always a pleasure to see 

people showing affection to each other; 

holding hands, hugging. As you make 

your way up the hill, you feel the weight 

of the air filled with combinations of 

coffee aroma, cigar smoke, vehicle exhaust, and of course some oxygen. Somehow 

in this chaotic atmosphere, you find home. Given that human beings are social creatures, 

it only makes sesnse that you enjoy this heavy-lively-concentrated atmosphere. 

Come COVID, the strictly monitored trip 

to campus has a completely different 

experience. You get out of your house 

only to remember that you forgot your 

mask and make that quick ran back to 

your apartment that has been part of everyone’s 

life right now. You step out to 

see a very uneventful surrounding. Very 

few cars aside from public transportation. 

Cafes and restaurants are closed 

and you see people standing two feet 

away from each other. Your world is 

dominated by the abundance of disposable 

masks, hand sanitizers, plastic 

gloves, and occasionally plastic face 

shields. You see these items discarded on the streets, alley ways, court yards, and parks. 

The difference is visible and heartbreaking. As you are halfway through your trip, you realize 

the air is lighter and cleaner. You feel the breeze across your face giving you a magical 

sensation of nature. It is phenomenal; too bad you can’t take off your mask to enjoy it. 

Decrease in urban 

activities has ensured the 

reduction of visual waste 

around natural habitats. You 

may have noticed the Tiber River 

appears to be steal and clearer than 

usual. Recently, its calming flow is 

only disturbed by the sound 

of the birds enjoying their 

natural habitat. 

Water bodies in rural 

areas and the ones located 

on the outskirts of cities 

have always been clean. Due to 

restrictions during the COVID pandemic, 

water bodies located in cities 

are now becoming equally clean. 

Researches show that water 

pollution in cities has 

decreased significantly

Aside from air pollution, 

littering has 

been a big issue during the 

pandemic. Although it is correct 

to say that littering has always 

been a problem in society, the 

excess use of masks, gloves and other 

sanitary materials has augmented the 

situation. Moreover, the pandemic has led 

to the closing of restaurants and parks, especially 

in Lazio region, leading to more take -out 

foods. In return, unnecessary waste material has 

been inappropriately disposed of on the street. Studies 

show that this surplus littering not only has affected 

the lives of people, but has also heavily impacted the 

ecosystem. Animals have been victims by ingesting toxic 

chemicals; by losing their habitats; or even by simply dying

COVID 19 VS. THE BARS OF ROME 

By : Sofia Antolini 

TRASTEVERE 

Welcome to three of the most popular and beautiful neighborhoods in Rome ! 

Trastevere is the 13th rione of Rome. Trastevere sits on the west bank of the Tiber river. The area homes several 

foreign universities and their housing centers, so there is a large crowd of international students. Trastevere’s 

character is all about the narrow cobbled streets lined with ancient houses and apartments, fun pubs, trendy bars, 

and restaurants serving all types of cuisine. 

Campo de’ fiori which directly translates to “field of flowers” from when the area was a meadow in the Middle 

Ages, is a square south of Piazza Navona. The square has always been a focus for commercial and street structure: 

the street names as well as the daily market that is centered in the square. Today, very popular for its wide 

variety of terraces, restaurants, and bars. Also a popular area for university students and the international student 

body. 

Monti is actually considered to be Rome’s first rione, located directly in the city’s center between Piazza Venezia 

and the Colosseum. In the middle ages Monti was full of vineyards and vegetable gardens and held a low population 

of people due to being so far from the vatican. At the end of the 19th century when Rome had become 

the capital of Italy after unification, Monti’s once very fascist appearance had quickly changed. Between 1924 

and 1936, the street that divides the Roman Forum and the Imperial Forums was destroyed to make way for 

famously known as Via dei Fori Imperiali. Monti is a sanctuary of touristic sites capturing Via Nazionale and Via 

Cavour. Monti is described to be the perfect mix of bohemian shops, contemporary restaurants, trendy bars and 

traditional artisan workshops!

Covid was first confirmed to have entered Italy on January 31st of 2020 when two Chinese tourists tested 

positive for the virus in Rome. On February 21st, clusters of cases were beginning to be detected in Lombardia 

and Vento, northern region of Italy. As of March 9th 2020, Giuseppe Conte, Italy’s prime minister 

imposed a national lockdown that restricted movement of the population for all but deemed necessary 

reasons. After two months of a full nationwide lockdown, the country started to slowly reopen. Since this 

initial first wave, Italy has seen many new regulations and laws being set in place with preceding lockdowns as 

well. Different “zones” were implemented to the public to maintain strategy in the growing of the Covid - 19 

pandemic. “Zona gialla” is the lightest restriction base: where restaurants can be open with a regulation of 

people entering at a time, restaurants and bars may open for the lunch service and could open until 6pm or 

10pm (depending on the current covid case count), shopping centers were allowed to be open on weekdays, 

and parks are open. “Zona arancione” is the second strongest: restaurants and bars cannot have any seating 

but only take away and delivery options, shops may remain open, shopping centers closed, parks remain open. 

“Zona rossa” is the tightest and most severe regulation where everything is closed, and travel is banned for all 

unnecessary reasons.

Interview with Majd 

Owner of Giganti bar 

Q: How has Covid made you more adaptable as a bar owner or someone seeking to open a bar ? 

A : Covid led to a reduction of business purchases. Modified operations which include a reduction of staff 

members of about 85%, closing the kitchen, and ordering less resources. 

Q: What was the hardest thing to realize about yourself from Covid ? 

A : We were basically alone, the state gave us little support. It was either you had savings or you had 

to get creative ! 

Q: Now that we see a future of reopening, do you see your bar recovering ? 

A : I do see recovery for Giganti, the regulation change from operation hours moving from 6pm to 10pm 

is a step in the right direction. Not a huge difference, but seeing movement usually means seeing improvements. 

Q: If you were part of the Italian government system what would you have done to help bar owners during this 

time ? 

A : I would of provided more financial aid, try to regulate rent costs, avoid evictions, open the ZTL that leads to the center so 

Roman residents could of possibly made up for lack of tourism and most importantly kept bar owners more informed of the 

steps to come as well as feedback. I do ask myself though, “If the buses, trains, shops and malls were allowed to be 

packed with people, why were the bars and restaurants hit much harder?” 

Q: How do you raise and upkeep the morale of your employees ? (covid regulations) 

A : I decided to keep my bar open mainly for my workers, who were struggling to make money and 

I knew I wouldn’t of been able to help them out of pocket. Although the salaries have been reduced, 

making something will always be better than nothing. 

Q: How have you seen Campo change and how will that affect your establishment ? 

A : Campo is obviously much emptier than it has the reputation to be. I think because of the ZTL as 

well, Romans have found other alternative areas to hang out. But with Covid, I think we as workers have 

to do something to promote campo to the locals to make up for lack of tourism. 

Q: How has a solely Italian customer base changed your business ? 

A : More or less there are about 300 daily visitors to Campo’s square. Which means that each day each bar has one main 

crowd. We as bar owners in the square have to divide between the 300 people, who are typically Italian residents. 

Q:What do you want people to know about your bars ? 

A : I pride myself in my establishments and I ensure that I am always providing great quality food, drinks and customer 

service. We like to think that we have a very fun, friendly, safe, alert, and healthy atmosphere.

Interview with Matteo De Santis 

Owner of Ice bar & Fire bar 

Q: How has Covid made you more adaptable as a bar owner or someone seeking to open 

a bar ? 

A: Unfortunately, there was not much room for adaptation due to the extremely tight Covid regulations 

that were set in place. Adapatability became an illusion to most of us, bar owners. Many 

bars, including mine spent lots of money buying materials to adhere with the government set 

regulations, with the idea that if you adapted your bar with thermometers and such it would 

allow you to stay open. But, obviously as we saw, we adapated and yet still had to close our doors 

for months on end. 

Q: What was the hardest thing to realize about yourself from Covid ? 

A : It became impossible to make plans for the future. Nobody had any idea what the future held, and we 

still don’t. The constant postponing of openings and schedules, has left me feeling hopeless. 

Q: Now that we see a future of reopening, do you see your bar recovering ? 

A : Realistically, I don’t see a near future of reopening. Yes, if you have tables outside you can open for seating outdoors. Ice 

bar does not have outdoor seating - which means yet to see a future of reopening. Fire bar has three two person tables outside, 

and I have to consider the questions of “how much money can I really make from three tables”, “Is it even worth it?” 

Q : Do you see a different future for Fire bar than you did for Ice bar - what components did 

you miss for Ice bar and are now incorporating to Fire ? 

A : The main difference between the Ice bar and the Fire bar is that Fire is a normal cocktail bar, 

which just means that its logistics are lower maintenance. The Ice bar is extremely high maintenance, 

even if it is closed there has to be workers tending to the ice and the statues, as well as 

having the electricity running 24/7 with 40 kilowatts per hour which averages to 8,000s euro a 

month on solely electricity costs. 

Q: How have you seen Monti change and how will that affect your establishment ? 

A : Monti has changed immensely. Monti has become a ghost town, especially since it is right in the 

middle of a historical center in Rome that lives and thrives off tourism. Rome as a whole is becoming a 

dying city. 

Q: How did the Italian government system help bar owners during this time ? 

A : The Italian government completely abandoned us. The government was supposed to match the grosss income of the bar 

from 2019, but they lied about doing so. The words “relief” or “help” were never used, only “will be given incentives.” Ice bar 

was conpensated for 2% of its gross income from 2019. The income from 2019 was 1 million euro and after one year of being 

completely closed, we were given only 12,000 euros of compensation from the government. Meanwhile, the Ice bar in Germany, 

was covered about 80% from their gross income. 

Q: What do you want people to know about your bars ? 

A : Ice bar is a one in a lifetime experience, it is a bar basically made of ice ! It is somewhere that you can go once and take 

pictures and truly enjoy yourself. Ice bar prides itself in its stellar customer service, that is not always found in more touristic 

bars. After 14 years of owning and working at the Ice bar, my best advertisement has always been word of mouth, I can honestly 

say over 50% of my customers come from a friends reccomendation.

transit 

by: daisy pinckley 

18 | Italy in General

“What was the source of the gravity that 

pulled us all unto the cracked and 

littered streets 

surrounding Rome’s central station?” 

Since moving to Rome a year ago, I have been lucky enough to reside in the part of town I have 

always found most interesting. When I out my affinity for Termini I am often reproached by a 

sideways stare; some expression of disapproval for my unpopular opinion. How is it possible, 

many have inquired, that I might prefer the impeding ruckus of the city’s central station at my door to 

the charming and quaint cobblestone streets of Trastevere, for instance? Or, even more frequently, I 

am met with a concerned look and the classic “but surely you feel unsafe walking home at night”. 

There are elements of truth to the collective bewilderment: objectively, I will concede that Termini 

is littered with more plastic bags and empty food containers than most of central Rome, indeed, I 

do feel the heaviness of the late night catcalls, and yes, I am often awoken by the shouts of a midnight 

brawl in the streets below. 

However, none of these rather unfortunate circumstances can detract me from that which 

tugs so many of us to the urban sphere, and ultimately, from that which throws Termini at the top of 

my list: the hustle, the bustle, the buzz, the screams of the rusty train brakes against the tracks, the 

screams of the fortunate, the screams of the unfortunate, the screams of the seagulls playing tug-owar 

over a half-eaten Big Mac, the faces! Oh, all of the faces! Termini has always returned me to the 

diversity I’ve seen so forcefully, and in part deliberately, erased from the romantic facade of so many 

idealized Italian metropolitans. 

Much of my time during the months during “the lockdown” was spent perched on my balcony. 

From the fifth floor I witnessed Termini transform from a hub home to a constant stream of hundreds 

of people; streets full of humans from both near and far, intermingling or simply commuting, 

to a desolate building in classic Mussolini style devoid of any lifeforms, barring the hungry seagulls on 

the hunt for the forgotten scraps that had suddenly disappeared. 

When the world below me began to change yet again and life trickled back into the barren 

streets, I was inclined to ponder what it is that connects me, myself, to the hundreds of people, with 

all of their different strides, their diverse styles, languages, skintones, origins? What was the source of 

the gravity that pulled us all unto the cracked and littered streets surrounding Rome’s central station? 

Dreams. 

We’re all motivated by some kind of self-constructed or socially constructed idea of 

what we want or what we need. Perhaps, in the name of inclusivity for those who can’t go 

as far as to call their basic wants and needs dreams, I might call these neurological impulses 

intentions. I’d draw the line thin. 

What’s so enchanting about Termini and those who frequent its vicinity connects the 

diversity of us regulars to that which connects us humans: many of these faces were born in 

far away lands, arriving ultimately in Rome to chase - or to realize - a dream. Equipped with a 

hunger to understand my fellow solicitors a fraction better, and enabled by the decree allowing 

me to leave my domicile, I hit the Termini streets where I met Aladin and we talked about 

our dreams... 

Aladin is one of six children; his mother, father, two brothers and three sisters are in 

the Gambia, his home country. He has been away from home for more time than he’d initially 

anticipated, having six years ago arrived by boat in Malta before moving to Italy. He has 

been in Rome for five years and, while we certainly have a common a sentimental regard for 

Termini, his eyes were pensive and bright when he explains that he feels most safe and happy 

in the comfort of his home in Gambia. He tells me that he chose to come to Rome with 

the intention of helping his family and securing his future but pauses before adding “but I 

have faced a lot of disappointment”. Unable to fathom the disappointment he has had to 

face, knowing it to be certainly heavier than my own, I am reminded of our mutuality. When 

he grows up, he wants to be a dad, a good dad. He dreamt of playing football professionally, 

regretting now not having had the chance to train from a young age on. Reconciling this he 

aspires today to be a businessman. 

“At this moment, it’s very hard to follow this dream -- everyone knows how the 

world is. I see no door open. But, if I see an opportunity, I will take it.”

Aladin doesn’t count on the help of others to realize this dream but he still recognizes the impact of 

community in his life. During the pandemic, he lost his job at a local restaurant. Unable to afford the rent 

for his apartment, he moved in with a friend who offered him a place to stay. 

Patience. 

Last year Aladin had intended to return home to Gambia to visit for the first time since leaving but 

was hindered by Covid travel restrictions. For the first time he looks defeated in our conversation as he tells 

me that the only thing that could reassure him during what he described as the most difficult period in his 

life was his mothers advice: “be patient.” 

If we aren’t all dreamers then we lack the patience to allow ourselves to ourselves to become them. 

Every time I exit from the big brown doors that separate me from the swarms of Termini’s patient dreamers, 

I am instantly reminded that I am not the only one. Covid has been an exercise in patience for all us. It 

was refreshing to see the fire that still burns bright in Aladin’s patient eyes. 

A beaming smile spreads across his face when I ask him what he thinks his greatest talent is. 

“I am a dancer. I dance. I wish I could dance in California, and you never know, maybe one day...” 

And, like a tender embrace from the ethers, I feel as close to Aladin’s dreams and to those of everyone 

surrounding us as I do to my very own.

Rome Life During a Pandemic 

The following is a serious of questions asked to people who have lived 

in Rome prior and during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

How do you think Rome is handling COVID-19? 

Rome is a very big city and it has been mishandled in the past. I 

think they are doing what the can with what’s left. -Stefano, 25 

Would you rather be somewhere 

else during this time? 

No, I have my family here, I want to take 

care of them a little bit longer. -Stefano, 25 

What are some of the differences 

bewteen now and pre pandemic life? 

Ma...che bello e’ lo 

Imprisioned by the four walls of a home, 

no guests allowed except Yahweh. 

Che bello e’ Mura Aureliane. 

An echo of a paint stroke, 

an empty museum today. 

Che bello e’ Galleria Borghese. 

Before, we didn’t have a curfew and psychollogically, 

people were much less exhauseted. -Gianmarco, 20 

What do you miss the most? 

I miss my friends. -Nicole, 10 

Hanging out with friends til the morning. -Stefano, 25 

Going out to dinner until til late with friends and hanging 

around Rome. -Edoardo, 21 

What’s different? What is’nt? 

There is light footfall, 

but the feet fall heavy. 

Che bello e’ Fontana di Trevi. 

Whispers masked in the wind. 

People, at a distance, roam freely. 

Che bello e’ Doria Pamphili 

In Roma, Italia, 

a lonely, quiet street 

tells of a life bittersweet. 

“THIS IS AN ORDER, 

LOCKDOWN!” 

until a cure can be found. 

Everything is different. 

Ma... che bello e’ lo. 

What has been the hardest thing about the 

pandemic? 

At first, not knowing how seriously it could have impacted 

my family. Now, the hardest thing is waiting for normality. 

-Stefano, 25 

Having been limited by many freedoms. -Gianmarco, 20 

What do you think will happen next? 

I hope that, in 6 months to 1 year, we will all have taken the vacine. 

-Edoardo, 21 

People will get vacinated and we will slowly go back to what we knew. 

-Stefano, 25 

How does lockdown and all the restrictions 

make you feel? 

Lonely. -Nicole, 10 

Anxious and limited. -Gianmarco, 20 

Not how a 21 year old boy should feel. 

-Edoardo, 21 

I try to focus on the bright sides. - Stefano 

Is there anything that has happened that has 

changed you life for the better? Or the worse? 

I believe that today I am able to appreciate many 

more things that before I took for granted. 

-Gianmarco, 20 

The worse, not being able to meet girls with a real 

life approach and so on. -Stefano, 25 


TREVI FOUNTAIN 

Places To See During Lockdown 

When Rome is all closed down, what is there left to see? The greatest thing about Rome, the city is 

practically its own open air mueum! Many of the places are visually stunning on the outside just as much on the 

inside. While entrance is forbidden to museums during serious lockdowns, the buildings themselves are a work 

of art. Sometimes, even the walk to the museum is very scenic. Everything from the mossy cobblestone streets 

to the ancient ruins sets you on your path toward the breath taking exterior of the Colloseum. Just in the area, 

the Campidoglio offers a beautiful display of statues and impressivly designed buildings as you make your way to 

an over top view of the Roman Forum. Not terribly far away, the Trevi Fountain. At night, before curfew, lights 

along the bottom of the water illimunate the masterpiece that is Trevi Fountain. Along with the rhythmatic 

beating of the rushing water, Trevi Fountain is mesmerizing. If you enjoy the sound of rushing waters, the Tiber 

River is an often overlooked gem. Most people take to jogging or biking alongside the river, but taking a leisurely 

strolly is a very welcomed activity. There are unrecognized pieces of art in the form of grafitti painted on the 

walls and stairs almost everywhere. 

Rome is home to many gorgeous parks, but amoung the most notable would be Villa Borghese and Villa 

Doria Pamphili. Luckily, even in the most serve of lockdowns, the parks are still open. Each park includes many 

different areas where there are fountains, statues, and incredible overlooks. One of the best overlooks of the city 

can be found at our very own very own campus. So, if you ever find yourself back in lockdown here in Rome, 

dont fret. Just put on your sneakers and get to roaming Rome.

The Rules and Restrictions of Covid 

What you need to know 

By Karla Ortiz 

By Karla Ortiz 


The COVID Situation 

in Italy: The Rules 

and Restrictions 

As Covid-19 continues to spread throughout our 

communities and throughout the world, we’re 

encouraged to continue exercising precautions 

in our everyday lives to help contain the spread of this 

virus. The Italian Ministry of Health has set several rules 

and regulations in the fight against COVID-19. They’ve 

also put in place specific procedures for those that are exposed 

to COVID-19, and here’s what you need to know: 

How to protect yourself and those around you: 

- Keep a safe physical distance of 1 meter from those 

around you 

- It is mandatory to carry a face mask with you and must 

be worn in closed spaces accessible to the public and in 

indoor areas in general 

- Wash your hands often. 

- Avoid crowded places 

- Avoid hugs and handshakes 

The symptoms: 

Symptoms for COVID-19 vary between people; however, 

the most common symptoms include: 

- Cough 

- Fever 

- Chills 

- Difficulty breathing 

What to do if you’ve been exposed: 

If you are experiencing any of the listed symptoms 

or have come in close contact with someone who has 

COVID-19, stay at home. Do not go to the emergency 

room. Call your family doctor, pediatrician, or the ‘Guardia 

Medica (out-of-hours primary care service). 

“We should stick to these new measures, which might impose sacrifices,”-Giuseppe Conte 

For additional information, you may also call Lazio’s regional 

telephone information hot-line at 800 118 800. 

In the cases of severe emergencies where your symptoms 

worsen, or you’re experiencing severe breathing issues, 

dial the emergency number 112/118 only if strictly 

necessary. 


The COVID Situation in Italy: 

Know the Zones 

Regions and provinces throughout the county are classified into 

one of four zones. The region’s zone is determined according 

to the different epidemiological risk scenarios, levels, and other 

data provided by the Cabina di Regia, or Italy’s Control Room. The 

classification a regions is determined by the Presidents of the Regions 

and the Ordinance of the Minister of Health. 

In the severe case where there is a high level of risk, the region is 

considered a red zone. It is where most restrictive measures are taken. 

Travel between regions is prohibited except for proven work reasons 

or necessities, such as visiting the grocery store or health reasons. Bars 

and restaurants only offer takeaway or delivery options, and Physical 

activity, such as walking or jogging, is only allowed near one’s home, 

and you must wear a mask. 

The zone is considered orange when there is a high severity scenario 

and a high-risk level; however, there are slightly fewer restrictions. 

People are allowed to leave their homes and visit within the same 

municipality between the hours of 5am to 10pm. Restaurants continue 

offering takeaway or delivery options while museums and other cultural 

services remain closed. 

Once the region is considered a yellow zone, there are general restrictive

TRAVEL & TOURISM 

NEL BEL PAESE by Lavinia Zorloni 

Before Covid-19 happened, Italy lives and 

breathes almost entirely on tourism, since, 

for obvious reasons, it is the most profitable 

and profitable economic sector, in 

fact, according to estimates by the Bank 

of Italy in 2018, the tourism sector has 

directly generated more than 5% of the 

National GDP, counting a further 13% also 

considering the indirectly generated GDP, 

and represents over 6% of the employed. 

In 2018, the Italian cultural sites, including 

museums, monuments, fashion, attractions, 

parks, archives and libraries, amounted to 6 

610. The active hotel establishments are 33 

000, while the non-hotel ones are 183 000. 

The flow of tourists in the large cities by 

89%, while in coastal locations, it was 53%, 

and for mountain resorts, it was 40%. 

In 2019. The country was ranked as the 

fourth most visited in the world with 94 

million visitors according to ENIT, with a 

number equal to 217.7 million foreign visitors 

and with 432.6 million total visitors. 

A MISSED SEASON: COVID-19 IMPACT ON 

THE ITALIAN TOURISM 

taly lives and breathes almost entirely on tourism, since, for obvious reasons, it is the most profitable and 

profitable economic sector, in fact, according to estimates by the Bank of Italy in 2018, the tourism sector has 

directly generated more than 5% of the National GDP, counting a further 13% also considering the indirectly

ranked as the fourth most visited in the world with 94 million visitors according to ENIT, with a number 

equal to 217.7 million foreign visitors and with 432.6 million total visitors. 

Between June 2019 and 2020, the Italian labor market suffered a collapse of 841 thousand employees (-3.6%) and the tourism 

sector, hotels and restaurants, in particular, in the second quarter, recorded a decline in employment of 246 thousand 

units (-16.1%), of which 158 thousand in catering services (-13%) and 88 thousand in the housing sector: the latter saw 

the employment base drop by 28.3%.Although the sector may have registered a slight recovery during the summer season, 

the severity of the effects produced by the pandemic, particularly in the hospitality sector, makes a short-medium term 

employment recovery unlikely. The high seasonality of employment in this area has also led to the termination of many 

fixed-term contracts and the substantial reduction in hiring. Overall, the crisis in the sector contributed to 29.3% of job 

losses between June 2019 and 2020.Seventh consecutive result heavily below the pre-Covid values of the Italian traveler 

confidence index. According to the SWG calculation on behalf of Confturismo-Confcommercio in September, the value 

stood at 57 points (on a scale from 0 to 100), 12 less than in September 2019. But this is not the only alarm signal. The 

index recorded, between February and May of this year, values well below the seasonal averages; however, from July the 

trend of the index returns to have the same fluctuations of the previous year but always, systematically, with 10-12 points 

less. In practice, the demand seems to have overcome the Covid-19 shock, but settling on lower values than in the past.

Tranquility in Chaos: 

Is It Possible and How Do We Find It? 

Looking For Options Around Rome 

By Meg 

Gephart 


What’s Happening? 

Find Your Own Spot 

The past year has brought on a new level 

of challenges and stress that no one was 

prepared to handle. Overnight the world 

changed, and everything we were used to 

was no longer a possibility. While stress 

levels at the beginning of the pandemic may have been 

extremely high, it is possible that now it is even worse. 

See, after a year of extreme stress with no relief, you 

have to hit a breaking point. And for students, this 

breaking point could be coming now. With constant 

changing from online to in person plus either getting 

stuck somewhere or having to leave school during 

lockdown, nothing has been easy. The constant buildup 

of stress can create extreme exhaustion or anxiety 

and that can really impede your success as a student. 

I know that I have certainly felt it. Through all this 

stress, however, there needs to be a way for it to be 

released and hopefully bring down those levels. Luckily, 

we’re in Rome which has a plethora of beautiful 

places, both natural and man-made, to relax and usher 

in some semblance of tranquility. Leave the chaos of 

daily life behind and find some time to breathe. For 

me, whenever I was stressed, I would get on a random 

bus and simply take it to the end of the line and back. 

I realized that by the time I got back home, whatever 

I was stressed or upset about had melted away, at least 

for a little while. It was also a great way to learn a city 

and maybe even see things that you never would have 

before. 

Unfortunately, the pandemic makes that more difficult. 

Getting on a bus for fun rather than purpose 

is not exactly the smartest idea and the whole point 

is to relieve stress not add to it. This loss of a stress 

outlet means that I have had to look to other obvious 

answers. There are a few things that Rome seems to 

have a lot of: parks and cemeteries which contain 

many facets through which you can find an ounce of 

tranquility. Despite everything I have said, it all depends 

upon you. What might work for you might not 

work for someone else. You must figure out for yourself 

what brings relaxation and tranquility. I am only 

here to give a few suggestions most of which you 

might already know. I come from a place of newness 

regarding Rome, and I am still finding new places 

myself. I can only 

hope that you 

take inspiration 

from my recommendations 

and 

use that to find 

new places that 

others may not 

know about thus, 

creating your own 

personal spot for 

relaxation. 

Villa Pamphili and Villa Sciarra are two 

fantastic options that are very close 

to school. This makes it easy to have a 

quick jaunt around in-between classes 

or find a nice bench to simply sit 

for a moment. Villa Sciarra might be smaller than 

Villa Pamphili but it still boasts beautiful views and 

hidden fountains. The first time I found the fountain 

for Jupiter with its eagle in the center, it was a wonderful 

feeling and that, combined with the sprawling 

view of Rome below was unforgettable. I think my 

favourite fountain in Villa Sciarra is one hidden 

down a path, half obscured by plants. 

It does not work, and it is falling apart. 

However, the fountain with a couple 

of people and their cow sitting atop 

it is simple and lovely to look at. 

These memories are the ones which 

are important to keep close so that 

in times of stress you might try to 

bring yourself back to the feelings 

you felt at that moment. 

On the other hand, Villa Pamphili is much larger and 

contains far more space to find your own little nook. 

Finding a nice spot under a shady tree or sitting on 

a bench by the pond and watching the birds can do 

wonders. Watching the birds at the pond in Villa 

Pamphili is a great way to see true nature in action, 

which is often difficult to do in a city. Now you might 

be thinking that all of this sounds terribly boring and 

mundane, however, sometimes that is exactly what 

you need. Do absolutely nothing in a beautiful place 

for a little while and see just how beneficial it can be. 

Sometimes you need to hear that you’re 

allowed to relax. Too often we keep 

going and going without a break 

and that accomplishes nothing in 

the grand scheme of things. So, 

stop…take a minute…breathe 

and relax. 


Look In Unexpected Places 

For those of you who might find calm in 

slightly unorthodox ways, I find that cemeteries 

bring a new viewpoint to a sense of 

tranquility. The non-Catholic cemetery is 

a place that truly leans into the idea that 

cemeteries are a place of rest. Not only are many 

of the headstones beautifully carved, but there are 

plants all over. Plants are a great way to bring beauty 

and tranquility to a place that many people might 

see as unsettling. There is often a great deal of landscape 

design and effort put into certain cemeteries 

which makes them into vast expanses of physical 

art. Despite the immense beauty of the cemetery, it 

is important to respect where you are, especially in 

the time of the pandemic. There is a certain sense of 

decorum that must be had when enjoying the beauty 

of the cemetery. Respect the headstones and where 

you walk and be appreciative that you are able to be 

there. Once you keep these things in mind, it is extraordinarily 

simple to find an outlet in these places. 

Unfortunately, the pandemic has shut down many of 

the cemeteries to visitors and the non-Catholic cemetery 

has not been an exception. We can only hope as 

things begin to improve that the cemetery will open 

again so that we may enjoy it once more.

What To Do At 

HOME 

Online & Offline 

The pandemic has 

brought many things 

with it, but one of 

the main things we struggle 

with to this day is staying 

home. The transition 

from being out and seeing 

people everyday to staying 

at home by yourself can be 

difficult. After a full year of 

this new situtation, there 

are some things we learned; 

staying at home does not 

have to be the worst thing. 

You can stay connected with 

your loved ones and keep 

yourself entertained all from 

the comfort of your own 

house. Even with no virus, 

these tips and ideas can 

still be useful on an a day to 

day basis. Keep reading for 

how-to entertainment, both 

online and offline. From 

Zoom fun with friends and 

family to hands-on creative 

crafts to do on your own. 

Zoomin’ Through 

Social Distancing 

During this pandemic we have all, want it or not, 

used Zoom at some point. This platform is 

used, for the most part, for school and work 

related things. In return this has granted it 

a less-than-favorable reputation. However, Zoom has 

some perks! It allows users to schedule meetings, share 

screens, change backgrounds, and many other things, all 

the while having calls with a high number of participants. 

The virus has made it hard for most of us to communicate 

and mantain connections with our friends and families. 

Even though Covid restrictions are lifting in some places, 

the situation is always fluctuating and we have some way to 

go before we go fully “back to normal”. Social distancing 

is still necessary and even when it is not, we all have people 

we cannot meet with in person for other reasons. Be 

it health, distance, busy schedules, etc. Therefore, here is 

a list of five things to do on Zoom (apart from meetings 

and lectures) that you can do with your friends and family. 

1. 

PowerPoint Night Have your whole group 

of friends prepare a PowerPoint presentation 

on any topic you want, the crazier the better, 

and present it to the rest of the Zoom call. The presentations 

can follow a theme such as conspiracy theories 

that are not real theories or ranking TV or movie 

characters based on different criteria, or anything 

you want. The key point is to keep the idea a secret 

until you share your screen to the rest of the group. 

2. 

Kahoot Every memeber creates a Kahoot 

game with questions about themselves, 

the rest of the group answers them and in 

the end you see which friend knows the others best. 

3. 

Where Am I? For this idea each memeber 

changes their Zoom background to a TV or 

movie set and the others have to guess which one it is. 

4. 

All Bad Cards If you are familiar with the original 

non-traditional cardgame, you will be very 

pleased to know there is a free online version you can play. 

If you, for some reason do not know it, this is the time to 

try it. Be warned, this game is not for the easily offended.

Do-It-Yourself 

Creative 

Entertainment 

by Olivia Kesselman 

Being at home does 

not have to mean 

missing out. 

Being at home, either by yourself or with others, 

does not have to mean watching things 

on your screens the whole day, jumping back 

and forth from computer to phone. Staying 

at home because of a pandemic, or just because, there 

is still a multitude of things to do that do not revolve 

around screens, for a low amount of money, or even 

for free. Here we compile a short list of different DIY 

creative projects to get you started and help you disconnect 

from technology, if at least for a little while. 

1. 

Jewelry For this craft, you need only a couple 

of materials that you can get for low prices online. 

0.4-0.8mm wire, mix of beads, string. Take a 

look on Pinterest or TikTok to get insipartion for the 

type of pieces you want to make, there are incredible 

creations on there that will surely spark your interest. 

You can make rings, necklaces, bracelets, anything you 

want. They are easy to do and allow for a creative outlet. 

2. 

Friendship bracelets This craft goes hand-inhand 

with the first one as the materials for this 

are the same. Making friendship bracelets for your 

friends will take you back to your elementary and middle 

school days. You can spell their names or initials 

or simply match the colors or patterns to yours. When 

you are done you will have a beautiful and personalized 

present that your friends will definitely enjoy. 

3. 

Watercolor painting This craft requires a 

small amount of materials that are easily attainable. 

There are many sets that come with the brushes 

included for low prices online as they are for little 

kids. No matter, the watercolors work perfectly fine 

for the beginner artiste. The purpose of this craft 

is not to do the next big materpiece, but instead let 

yourself be creative and paint what you want paying 

no attention to the quality of the final outcome. If 

the weather allows for it, take your materials outside 

to a park and use your surroundings as inspiration. 

4. 

Scrapbook Everyone has printed photos, tickets 

from shows, receipts, and more from different 

events you wanted to remember. Mostly everyone 

has them laying around their house getting lost in all 

the clutter. Alongside this, there are always empty 

notebooks everyone is too afraid to fill in. This is your 

chance to take all of this and make something out of it. 

Start a scrapbook of all the memories you want to remember, 

you can buy extra materials such as washi tape 

and stickers online or you can keep it simple and minimalistic. 

Either way, the outcome will be a lovely book 

to skim through whenever you are feeling nostalgic. 

The idea is to 

have fun and be 

creative! 

Do not stress 

about the how 

the end result 

looks. 

5. 

Origami Traditional paper cranes, flowers, leaping 

frogs, there are so many things you can do 

with some folded pieces of paper. There are many tutorials 

available on YouTube where you can learn the 

beginner shapes and move on up from there. You can 

buy origami specific paper online if you want your creations 

to match with the originals or use other types 

of paper already in your house (though the end product 

will be different). Again, as with the rest of these 

crafts, do not stress if your lotus flower looks more 

like a lettuce than a flower. The point is to have fun 

with it and relax, after doing the same shape multiple 

times you might find that you can do it through 

muscle memory and listen to music while you do it. 

6. 

Just Dance If all else fails and you cannot move 

past the creative block., let off some steam with 

a dance or two. Just Dance, the beloved console game 

of the mid 2000s, is available to play on a computer 

using your phone as a controller. Just log in and dance 

to a couple of the free songs available each day, or pay 

the subscription if you feel like going all in. You will 

be using a screen but at least you will get a workout 

and a good laugh when you struggle to get the correct 

moves down. If you live with your family or roomates 

try to convince them to join you, the more the merrier. 

In the end just have fun with it! Whichever project 

you chose, remember to do it for the creative 

outlet not for the quality of the outcome. 

Let your 

creative side 

shine through.

SURVIVING COVID 

AT HOME DIY 


3 Steps to Making a 5 Star Resturaunt Experience at Home 

Since the beginning of the Pandemic in 2020, the closure of resturaunts and fine dining experiences 

has shifted the way people cook at home. Instead of having the leisure of deciding to go to 

a resturaunt, especially for special occasions, we’ve had to make the only decision of cooking at 

home. 

Anniversaries, birthdays, and special holidays have all been spent at home this past year, so when 

deciding what to make for that special day, you’ll mostly likely want to spice things up in the kitchen. 

The top qualities of a resturuant include: tasty food, range of beverages, and hospitable atmoshpere. 

Right now, I’ll be giving you 3 easy steps to making your own home the next 5 star resturaunt. 

These dishes that I will be preparing will be suitable for up to 3-4 servings, which can be special if 

you want to impress your partner, family or roomates. 

Instead of making your 5th pasta of the week, branch out with these fun recipes that I will be providing 

for you. 

These recepies will include dishes for an appetizer, main course, and dessert. The first step of 

choosing a dish is extrememly important since you need to think about what you can find in your 

local grocery stores. It may be inticing to make a a fancy dish, but you can be dissapointed when 

realizing your grocery store doesn’t have the ingrediants you need. 

By Vivian Hudson 

Step 1 : Preparing the Menu 

Appetizer: Antipasti Bites 

Ingrediants: 

24 slices of salami 

2 6 ounce jars of marinated artichoke hearts, 

drained and finely chopped 

2/3 cups finely chopped jarred roasted red peppers 

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnishing 

48 fresh perlini mozzarella balls 

Method: 

Step 1 

Preheat oven to 400 degress F (204 celsius) and position a rack in the middle of the oven. 

Step 2 

Place one salami slice in each muffin cup. 

Step 3 

Bake for about 7-10 minutes or until salami is crisp. Remove from the oven and let cool. 

Step 4 

In a large bowl, mix together artichoke hearts, roasted peppers, basil and the mozzarella 

balls. 

Step 5 

Place the salami cups on a platter. Fill the artichokes mixture. Top with more chopped basil. 

Main Course: Salmon & Spinach with tartare cream 

For reference, all ingrediants on the 

Roman neighborhood supermarkets. 

menu are available in your local 

For the appetizer we will be making antipasti bites. For the main course we will make salmon & 

spinach with tartare cream. And for dessert, a lemon sorbet. 


1tsp sunflower or vegetable oil 

2 skinless salmon fillets 

250g bag spinach 

2 tbsp reduced-fat creme fraiche 

juice 1/2 lemon 

1 tsp caper, drained 

2tbsp flat-leaf parsley, chopped 

lemon wedges, to serve 


Method 

Step 1 

Heat the oil in a pan, season the salmon on both sides, then fry for 4 ins each side until golden and 

the flesh flakes easily. Leave to rest on a plate while you cook the spinach. 

Step 2 

Tip the leaves into the hot pan, season well, then cover and leave to wilt for 1 min, stirring once or 

twice. Spoon the spinach onto plates, then top with the salmon. Gently heat the creme fraiche in 

the pan with a squeeze of the lemon juice, the capers and parsley, then season to taste. Be careful 

not to let boil. Spoon the sauce over the fish, then serve with lemon wedges. 

Step 2 : Setting the Mood 

The food served at a resturaunt is an important part of enjoying and rating a resturaunt, but it 

doesn’t stop there. The scenerary and ambiance of the resturaunt is just as important, as many places 

can transport you into romantic and elegant settings. 

For the best at home experience, all you will need are a few simple decorations to help you spice 

things up. 

If you don’t already have these items, finding them at your local home good stores will not be too hard or 

costly. Here are a list of simple decoration ideas. 

Dessert: Lemon Sorbet 


250 g white caster sugar 

thick strip of lemon peel 

juice of 2-3 

2 tbsp vodka (optional) 

1. Table runner 

2. Place mats 

3. Candles 

4. Special Silverwear and plates 

5. Folded Napkins 

6. Flowers 

Method 

Step 1 

Heat 250ml water, the sugar and the lemon peel in a small pan until the sugar has dissolved then 

bring the mixture to the boil. Cook for 3 mins then turn off the heat and leave to cool. Pick out the 

lemon peel and discard. Measure out 100 ml of lemon juice and add to the sugar mixture along 

with the vodka if using. 

Step 2 

Pour into a freezer box and freeze for 1 hr 30 mins then mix up 

with a wisk to break up and incorporate the ice crystals. Stop 

mixing when firm but still scoopable then store in the freezer 

for up to 1 month. Serve scoops of sorbet decorated with a few 

curls of lemon zest. 

Step 3 

Keep mixing the sorbet once every hour for 4 hours to break up the ice crystals. Stop mixing when 

firm but still scoopable then store in the freezer for up to 1 month. Serve scoops of sorbet decorated 

with a few curls of lemon zest. 

Step 3 : Enjoying Yourself & Company 

Now that dinner is prepared and the scene is set, go prepare yourself. 

Put on your favorite outfit and make yourself feel like 

you’re not staying home. 

Buon Appetito, 

Vivian Hudson 



Fashion Through COVID: Our Vision 

By: Ileana Martinez Negrete 

The Production! 

Beginning the year of 2020 we got to see 

some of the best fashion runways shows, for example 

we got to see the elegant outfits of PRADA and 

Chanel at London fashion week, but soon after their 

epic show. Lockdown struck and before we knew it 

the world was in complete lockdown. We were done 

for --or at least some might think. With much of my 

generation (GenZ) locked up and left to explore on 

their own, many of of my peers and I got to work 

and began to develop new ways of showing fashion 

and Covid-19, one of the ways we decided to showcase 

how the pandemic has changed our views is 

by creating our very own photoshoot. A photoshoot 

directed by Ileana Martinez Negrete and co- directed 

by Vivian Hudson. As we worked together, I had 

had to think of some type of inspiration for outfits 

and make-up. Knowing that I would be surrounded 

by girls and we would have to be wearing masks 

most of the time I had to limit myself on make-up, 

but then that brought up the question, “How has 

COVID-19 influences our daily lives with fashion and 

make-up?”, aside from putting on a whole layer of 

setting powder so that our make-up won’t rub off 

with a mask. We decided that the best way for creating 

a photoshoot would be through our imagination 

and through the power of us being in lockdown. 

In the most epic way 2020 was a year 

gone to complete waste, at least some could say. 

COVID-19 managed to keep everyone locked up 

for a long time, it managed to change the way we 

think, the way we act and specifically the way we 

look. FOr many people out there who were born 

to be fashionistas their life was basically ruined. 

We got to experience a world without going outside 

and for fashion critics and lovers that meant 

not being able to see or show off their newly 

planned outfits. 

Fashion photoshoots consist of many 

branches, first you have to make sure to have a 

model, then you have to make sure your model 

knows what is going on. After that comes outfit 

fitting and then make-up gearing As someone 

who was incharge of doing all of the above, from 

searching for the model, to making sure the makeup 

looked good and other stuff as well, I can say 

that this type of stuff does not come easy. To understand 

the shoot one has to understand the tactic 

behind the meaning of the shoot. Our theme was 

“Fashion Through COVID: Our Vision.” Though 

this theme we wanted to make sure people understood 

how fashion shoots have changed, how 

everything no longer feels the same. Especially 

when you have to work in a very small group. 

Covid has managed to change the world drastically 

and sadly it has changed the way photoshoots are 

also run. Before it was all about having multiple 

scenes, multiple make-up artists, multiple everything; 

however now it’s all just about getting everything 

straight to the point, and to be quite honest 

that’s not what photoshoots are supposed to do. 

See the definition of a photoshoot to one person 

might to “take a fancy picture” but to the photographer 

or even the director, a photoshoot means so 

much more. “A photoshoot represents emotions, it 

represents our work. How the model shows herself 

and how we are ready to showcase the ideas that’s 

what a real photoshoot means, but no one really 

thinks about. things like that.” 

I will admit as a fashion enthusiast it was 

very hard to come up with outfits especially 

seeing how Rome, Italy was in lockdown. I am 

amazed however that I was able to pull off the 

outsiders in a nice manner and I was also able 

to give a story for each and every outfit. In many 

of the outfits hidden representation can be found 

these small things indicate things that have happened 

to you. 


Into the Fashion 

World During Covid! 

BEHIND THE SCENES 

The COVID-19 Pandemic managed to change a lot 

for everyone, it not only changed the way we had to do 

things but also what we wear. Fashion became almost 

a none existent thing since the pandemic began. people 

no longer had to dress to impress but rather just dress 

to live. Because of this fashion trends were haulted and 

that was a bit dangerous in the eyes of fahion magazines 

and iconic brands whom are constantly in search 

for new items to be in trend so that they can jump in 

and “perfect the trend”. 

The good thing about the pandemic was that for 

about a year and a half people did not have to worry about what other though about their 

outifts. In general the world can agree that going to class in Pajamas was the key thing 

about the pandemic. Another thing that was also added in our list of fashion trends was 

wearing masks!! Though we were mostly enforced to wear these, many people still took 

this as a serious fahsion trend and even customized these mask to fit their personal outfits. 

Honestly that was a very cool thing! 

A special thanks to photographer Vivian Hudson, and both models Alyssa Stephens and Betelihem Mezgebe for being part of 

this years Italy in General issue.

GC Images 

“The show must go on!” This was 

the literal catch phrase that many designers 

had to say while in the midst of 

the pandemic. Covid really ruined a lot, 

but as much as it ruined things it also 

brought light to many new things. Many 

designers or various brand have already 

stated that they can’t wait to reveal their 

new clothing lines and new outfits. 

It’s key to note however that although 

many brands have not been continuing 

their usual trends, but because 

of this it’s been all up to the people to 

figure out new trends, and with the rise 

of TikTok many younger generation designers 

have already gotten to work. 


THAT’S ALL FOR NOW... 

In general...2021 has been a fresh start to a completely UNUSUAL year. From dealing with quarantines, swabs, and 

zooming in to class (ocassionally), we can see a light at the end of the tunnel...as Rome begins to awaken. We hope 

you have enjoyed learning about our lives here in Rome as the pandemic continues to disrupt life, yet bring hope that 

everything will be alright. The contributors would like to thank you for taking the time to enjoy reading this unique 

6th issue in digital format, but in due time, it too will be available for you to hold in print format. We look forward 

to enhancing your awareness of Italy with AUR unique perspectives in the next issue, launching in December 2021.
