But, because of the pandemic, his school, like all the others, is closed .
In that dialogue with said newspaper, Alezzo had stated: "I founded the school in 1966. The activity was never interrupted, classes always took place, although during the dictatorship I was prohibited. However, the school continued to operate, silencing my name in order to keep teaching. It worked because people knew what we were doing, and that always paid off. In all these years, it 's the first time I have encountered a serious problem of unemployment . "
"So far we were operating in a room in Palermo but the contract expired on February 28. At the end of last year we already started to move. I got a splendid place in Villa Crespo and during the summer we made the reforms. We were going to open in March, but on the 15th of that month the parate came. The room was left intact, about to open. From that moment, the only thing we accumulated are rent debts and services that continue to run. So, when all this is over, frankly I don't know what can happen. Honestly ... I don't know . "
