#ADLovesSharing: a hashtag (and Marcelo Burlon) to tell the desire to reopen our homes – Italian Cuisine

"Home is for Sharing" is the title of the cover of the September issue of AD Italia on newsstands from today, where Marcelo Burlon, stylist, creative director and DJ, poses hand in hand with his partner Bratislav Tasić in the house he has chosen for himself and his "community" in Ibiza. But in all of us, the period of forced isolation of the past few months has made us want to reopen the doors to extended family, friends, people who are part of our "communities", and has made us all rediscover the importance of the role. of the home as a center for sharing and socializing. To give everyone the opportunity to express this value, AD Italia launched a hashtag, #ADLovesSharing, and made available to Instagram users some animated GIFs (searchable through the hashtag) thanks to which anyone can post the « his AD cover, framing the image of the place he loves and the person or people he shares it with.

«In the spring of 2019, Burlon says, «I came to Ibiza to do an inspection with my best friend, and in a moment of relaxation he fell asleep like a child. I realized at that moment that it was the kind of energy I was looking for in my home. " In one of the external environments, he explains, he is creating a garden called the "Cuatro Vientos", a circular platform capable of hosting no more than twenty people, designed for dinners, musical performances and intimate events, surrounded by centuries-old olive trees and "guarded" at four entrances, positioned at the four cardinal points, by sculptures. «Wherever I go, he concludes, «I tend to recreate environments with the same attitude, based on my interest in creating human interactions. Basically to create happy communities from time to time. Because this is the meaning of a home ".

Coronavirus, how to reopen restaurants – Italian Cuisine

Phase two, that of living with the virus, will impose strict rules and, inevitably, the reduction of the number of covers. Here's how our Swiss neighbors did it

The first restaurants will reopen on May 18, and industry workers are waiting for guidelines. With a little fear, because they know that phase two, that of living with the virus, will impose strict rules and, inevitably, the reduction in the number of place settings. The Italian Federation of Public Exercises (Fipe) has calculated that "if the rumors about the distancing measures provided by the government, with one person every 4 square meters, were confirmed, Italian restaurants would lose 4 million seats in one fell swoop , or 60% of the total ". Italian restaurants have an average area of 90 square meters and 62 seats. A seat every 0.7 square meters, which drops to 0.6 in the smaller rooms, but which, if 4 square meters of space between the diners were really needed, would drop below 0.3.

Half of the place settings

The Federation has also hypothesized two other possible scenarios. First: if the government decides to distance the tables of 4 linear meters from each other, the loss of seats would be 3.5 million, or half of the 7 million currently available in Italian restaurants. Second: if you opt for the two meters of distance between the tables, without distancing the diners at the same table, the loss would be "only" 30% of the place settings.

In addition to guaranteeing spacing, it will be necessary to make available i disinfectant gels for hands in several places in the room. The staff will wear the mask and, after each service, reusable containers such as salt shakers, oil cruets, vinegar sets and jugs must be sanitized with care.

Switzerland's example: customer registration

On the other hand, also in Switzerland, where bars and restaurants left on Monday, there is a particular attention to hygiene, between the measures for phase two. The protection plan decided by the Federal Council provides that a maximum of 4 people or a couple of parents with children can sit at each table, and the mandatory distance between one table and the other is "alone" two meters (just like the second hypothesis of the Italian Federation of Public Exercises provides).

But Switzerland has also drawn up a recommendation (in the forecasts it had to be an obligation, then the Council backed off) that could be really useful to avoid contagions, and which perhaps Italy could also be inspired by: customer registration. Diners are invited to leave their data to the restaurant owner (name, surname, telephone number, date and time, table number and name of the waiter who performed the service), which will be kept for 14 days. This register can be used to monitor the spread of the virus, as well as to track customers and inform them if a positivity is discovered.

Coronavirus, the stores and businesses that reopen today – Italian Cuisine

Even if the "phase two" has not yet started, some shops and some activities can start again. With many regional exceptions

Phase two has not yet started. But, as of today, as required by the Prime Minister's decree, some activities start again and some shops reopen. The rules, however, are not valid throughout Italy: they are there several exceptions regional.

In Lombardy the reopening of bookshops and stationery shops is not allowed: the sale of books, notebooks and markers "is allowed only in hypermarkets and supermarkets", and they can reopen "with the usual rules relating to hygiene and distancing, shops for the sale of items for infants and children ", while the closure of hotels (with some exceptions: the hotels used for the hospitalization of the sick), professional offices (which continue the smart working activity, with exceptions) is confirmed until May 3 for particular deadlines) of the outdoor markets and all non-essential activities ". Also in Emilia Romagna, in the provinces of Piacenza and Rimini, in Medicina and in the hamlet of Ganzanigo, the retail trade activities of paper, cardboard and stationery, books, clothes for children and babies remain suspended. In Lazio the opening of the bookstores has been postponed to April 20 to allow time for exhibitors to organize security measures. Not even in Campania bookshops and stationery reopen, and children's clothing stores will only be able to stay active two mornings a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, from 8 to 14. The production and delivery of takeaway food remains blocked.

The productive activities

They are allowed to resume: the use of forest areas and forestry, the manufacture of computer, the care and maintenance of the landscape, the hydraulic works, the wholesale trade of paper and cardboard. Companies that cannot work are allowed "the shipment of goods in stock, access to company premises by employees or delegated third parties for the performance of surveillance, conservation and maintenance activities, payment management as well as cleaning and sanitation ".

The rules for those who reopen

Shops and companies will have to respect the distance, provide for cleaning twice a day, natural ventilation and air exchange, make available and accessible i hand disinfection systems next to keyboards, touch screens and payment systems, ensure the use of masks in closed environments and where the distance and use of "disposable" gloves cannot be guaranteed in the sale of food and drinks.
