Italy

One of the most influential Italian scientists, Ilaria Capua, intertwines her personal meditations and her public reflections on the crisis that has affected everyone’s lives. As in a diary he recalls the long-neglected danger and past events – from Parini’s enthusiasm for the smallpox vaccine to denialism – he recalls the consequences on the planet – pollution and the effects on biodiversity – and the importance of behavior and responsibility of individuals in adopting new habits for the good of all.
