We know that sooner or later the emergency will end and we will also return to travel!
Lately, soon after the lock down, we saw fish swimming in transparent water and dolphins jumping in the lagoon in Venice, birds flying again in pure air and squirrels jumping in the parks of Milan. Tourism will start again, but shouldn’t all this teach us something?
