Ski enthusiasts are back on the slopes, finally reopened this weekend that marks a turning point for the easing of anti-Covid restrictions.
From Monday all of Italy will be in the yellow zone, with the exception of Valle d'Aosta, the only one left in orange.
Several regions plan to enter the white zone for the first week of June, but in the meantime, from North to South we live the first weekend with a curfew shortened by an hour, starting at 11 pm, and the shopping centers open, after months in which they were closed on Saturday and Sunday.
The calendar of the next reopenings, set by the latest decree law, provides that from Monday you can go to the gyms, and from the 1st of June you can sit in bars and restaurants even indoors.
For weddings, theme parks and convention centers, the go-ahead starts from 15, while training courses, game rooms, wellness centers and indoor swimming pools will start again from July 1st.
Only symbolic is the reopening of the ski season on the Presena Glacier, in the Pontedilegno-Tonale area between Trentino and Lombardy: it starts today and ends tomorrow, a choice that is intended to be a signal to restart.
The 400 ski passes available for the weekend are all sold out in a few hours.
The plants also reopen at lower altitudes for summer tourism.
We also return to skiing at Tonale, in the Brescia area. "We had sold all the tickets online since Thursday. We are talking about 450 people who skied until 3.30 pm", explained to ANSA Michele Bertolini, director of Adamello Sky, of the Pontedilegno-Tonale Consortium in Vallecamonica. "For us - he added - it was a technical test of online sales and in general we see this two days as a signal for next year and for the summer. We have started again".
In recent days there has been a green light also for the outdoor swimming pools. La Romano, in via Ampère in Milan, one of the municipal plants managed by the municipal company Milanosport, reopened today with an unpleasant surprise: after 8 months of forced closure, employees and workers found tables overturned on the lawn or thrown into the pool together with deckchairs and chairs to soak and everything upside down. "We are disappointed and embittered to see and show you these images - wrote the pool workers on Facebook together with the photo -. The only good news is that those who have been responsible for this perhaps did not know that from this year in all the systems there are the cameras ". A complaint was filed with the competent authorities and the videos were delivered.
