Other years at this point we were waiting for the beginning of summer, which starts next Saturday, June 20. The pandemic and the de-escalation are marking the calendar this time. But July and August are just around the corner and, perhaps more than ever, we dream of changing airs, enjoying ours, nature, calm.
The return to those essences stars on the cover of this issue with a special display dedicated to the new season. And even so, the coronavirus continues to haunt. Lapo Elkann, the Agnelli reborn, is very clear: the covid-19 will bring poverty and hunger, he insists, and he promotes a solidarity initiative against these consequences. We also look to the United States, where another health and economic crisis is added, that of the protests against racism unleashed by the death of George Floyd. Lights and shadows.
