Many Romans, in view of entering the red zone, have chosen today to take a trip out of town or to reach second homes

.

Slowdowns in various points of the connection such as between Colombo and Laurentina, between Rome-Fiumicino and via del Mare.

Traffic also between Tiburtina and the trunk of the A24.

Many have chosen the city parks, took advantage of the sunny day, to play sports or have a picnic.

The anti-gathering checks have already started yesterday and also include road closures. 

Little crowded streets, small groups of people gathered only in front of some bar-pastry shop.

The semi-deserted promenade, with the police forces lined up that exceeded the number of passers-by.

This is how Naples presents itself in the morning

, in the first weekend, again lockdown.

One out of four stores opened, only those in the authorized product sectors.

The new red zone has drastically reduced street traffic and also limited car travel.

In Piazzetta Mercadante, in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, the last market of "Campagna amica" takes place, about fifteen people hurry to stock up on provisions.

"Will you be there next Saturday ?, asks a customer".

"No, this is the last time" replies disconsolately one of the peddlers.

In Piazza Vittoria, which overlooks the seafront of via Partenope, the only animation is given by a group of "No Dads", who manifest with banners in front of the Villa Comunale, with the gates barred.

On the seafront, heavily guarded by the forces of the Order, with cars every 300 meters and a patrol on foot of the Police patrolling an empty sidewalk, passers-by can be counted on the fingers of one hand.

The beautiful day is not causing gatherings in Turin for the moment

, where citizens seem to have taken literally the indications in view of the passage from Monday in the red zone.

There are few people strolling through the streets of the center and among the stalls of the vintage market in Piazza Carlo Alberto, the last one before the stop at the non-food stalls.

The stop to second homes, in force as of today, seems to have avoided the feared exodus to the mountains.

Few people at the Turin Porta Nuova station, where there is ample availability of seats also on the Frecciarossa trains departing for the south.

Regular traffic on the ring road and on the main highways leaving the capital.

It is to regulate the traffic leaving Milan in the last weekend before the red zone is triggered.

The situation in train stations is also calm, where there is no increase in travelers even if with the children all in Dad and their parents in smart working there could be the temptation to go to second homes.

Even the queue that had formed this morning towards Linate airport, mixed with passengers and people who had to go to swab, has been abating and at the moment the situation is calm.
