The bells ring at noon in the empty streets, while the echoes of the Pope's words ring out from the TVs kept loud with the windows open for the warmth of spring. It is the image of surreal Easter at the time of the coronavirus, in a deserted Naples and where law enforcement agencies tighten controls to prevent good weather from pushing unnecessary exits. Throughout Campania an order from Governor De Luca also keeps supermarkets and food stores closed, normally open on Sunday mornings. Many parish priests spread the Sunday celebration via Facebook, reiterating the invitation not to go out. Thousands of police men and women, carabinieri, finance guard and local police involved in the checks, assisted by army patrols. Special railway stations, ports, highways and the Naples ring road are monitored. Local railways such as Cumana and Circumvesuviana stop, today and tomorrow, to discourage travel. Special checks on the seafront, also with the help of drones and patrol boats. PHOTO BY CESARE ABBATE
