'The coronavirus crisis is not over and institutions and citizens alike will still have to face its consequences and trauma,' Italian President Sergio Mattarella warned.
'NOT OVER.' This photo taken and handout on June 2, 2020, by the press office of the Quirinale presidential palace, shows Italian President Sergio Mattarella addressing officials on Republic Day during a private visit in homage to the victims of COVID-19 in Codogno, near Milan, as the country eases its lockdown aimed at curbing the spread of the COVID-19 infection.
"The crisis is not over and institutions and citizens alike will still have to face its consequences and trauma," Mattarella warned. Mattarella on Tuesday took part in national day celebrations wearing a face mask as he laid a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Rome. The holiday marks the day in 1946 when Italians, in a passionate referendum, got rid of the monarchy and became a republic.
Shops, cafes and terraces have reopened, as have the vast majority of monuments and tourist sites including Saint Peter's Basilica, Pompeii, the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the cathedrals of Milan and Florence and the Vatican Museums.
