From the oath of the new government to the Carnival, the pandemic shows its effects

The lenses of the ANSA photographers captured some details on the day of the Draghi government's debut that give the sign of the times: swearing in and taking office took place in full compliance with anti-Covid rules.

From the distancing to the family photo at the Quirinale, where the traditional handshake with the head of state Mattarella was missing and a pen was reserved for each minister, up to the ceremony of the exchange of the bell between Giuseppe Conte and Mario Draghi (complete with amuchina) to the first Council of Ministers with plexiglas dividers.

Effects also on the Venice Carnival, where there were few masks and about 25 thousand in the square compared to the crowds of the past.

No shows and historical places closed. Sensational archaeological discovery in Egypt where in the city of Abydos the oldest brewery in the world came to light with still ceramic kegs where a cereal drink was kept.

And remaining in the sign of the unusual spectacular the heavy snow that whitened Athens giving unusual landscapes.

But the peak of the 'wonder' reached Thursday night with the landing on Mars of the NASA Perseverance rover with the mission to search for life forms on the red planet.

Furthermore, this week he recorded two farewells, the definitive one of Raffaele Cutolo, boss of the Nuova Camorra Organizzata, who died at the age of 79 after a long illness.

Instead, the farewell of Harry and Meghan, who have announced they are expecting a second child, to the English dynasty, leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

The break between the Dukes of Sussex and the rest of the British Royal Family is consummated in the frost of the protocol acts: perhaps definitively made official with the confirmation of the renunciation of the status of senior members of the dynasty
