Hi Domenico,
I am in Falconara Marittima (An), Italy.
I am a little paranoid: I am locked at home since 2 weeks before it was mandatory.
I am a developer: I have been spending my days writing code for years, as freelance too so, I suffered the change of lifestyle a lot less then every friend of mine.
This means I can talk beyond the #iorestoacasa #stayathome thing, because I don't feel affected by this.
As you say, a lot of energies are drained by this, it's like having part of the brain always busy about something that slows you down.
I am lucky because I have a lot of work to do, this helps me to stay focused on something I feel satisfaction for and helps me to keep my cashflow alive. The most part of everyone I know is not this lucky and stays at home without work and consuming their holidays, others will have their pay provided by Italian welfare, like, we hope, my wife.
I find the hardest part of this thinking constantly about my family and hoping they won't take risks. They live a few kilometers away from me so today I will go shopping for me and for them.. I don't know how long it will take or how much weight it will be but I would do anything to make them stay at home.
At least our government, one of the oldest, slowest, sloppiest of the universe (I mean this not just for the current one, but every single one of them), this time was fairly reactive and is providing good measures.
What I like about this is the fact that, for once, the government is on the same page as everybody else and showed honest concern and humanity. Things, those, that I cannot say about other Countries that planned no lock down until today (literally, uk) or have private health only. That will be a massacre.
Another concern of mine is about what happens later... because "misfortunes never come alone" maybe troika will take over this Country like in Greece before, maybe "finance" will bury us all, we always risked it anyway.
Yesterday and today stats are improving we hope ignorant people won't ruin this trend going too soon.
Take care Domenico, have faith, in Italy we are fighting like hell and people working in the hospitals are nothing short of amazing, it's really heart breaking what they are doing risking their health working all day and all night long.
Take care you all, don't take any chance: your life or the life of your loved ones depends on it.
Never go outside, if you must, cover your mouth and eyes if possible, use gloves, disinfect everything as soon you come home, including shoes and clothes with something spray. At home and in common areas of your condo disinfect railings, light switches and handles almost every day.
Wash very well your hands and face several time a day.

HAVE HEART, USE YOUR BRAIN!
Man, what else can I say? I just hear what my family says to me and the situation is terrible.
Stay strong and I hope all this nightmare will finish soon. I am with you with my mind and heart!
