“They ask me if I am optimistic. I’m not thinking of parties, Christmas dinners, dinners, dances. You have to respect the rules. So Wednesday night the prime minister Giuseppe ConteWhile announcing the restrictions of the new Dpcm live, he revealed to the Italians the elephant that he himself had kept hidden in the center of the room until a few days ago. “We will suffer a little,” he declared on October 25, trying to reassure Italians struggling with the third Dpcm in 12 days, hoping “to breathe in December,” he added, suggesting that things would be better by Christmas. Well, evidently they didn’t. And for Italians, to whom Conte wishes “serenity”, hoping this will boost consumption, a Christmas is a New Year details.
If indeed Amazon or the many artisans who have been outfitted in recent months by landing on the web can think of gifts; and if the food can be organized with lessons at home, take out and video; To date, there is no way to guarantee that the contagion curve will flatten out and then the red areas will fade to orange and the oranges will turn yellow again. The risk in practice, as it happened during the Easter holidays, is that if after December 3 (when the Dpcm expires) things do not go better, the off-site son is trapped in Milan and the grandparents Calabrians cannot hug their grandchildren living in Rome after months of video calls.

Not only. If the measures remain the same as they are today, in the red and orange areas, thinking about traveling even a few kilometers to reach family members, even those closest to them, could be a problem. In any case, going to mass or dinner can still be “strongly” discouraged. On the other hand, as explained by the Minister of Health of the Puglia Region, Pierluigi lopalco Interviewed during the broadcast A day of the sheep on RadioUno: “With the hope that infections are decreasing by mid-December, at Christmas the table will have to accommodate a maximum of six or seven people.”
TRAUMA
One more trauma for a country that would be willing to give up everything, except Christmas. The government knows this, as the rapid pace of the last Dpcm fired in rapid succession suggests, so, with the Advent calendar closing in on the threat, they tried to run for cover. Also because, beyond traditions, symbolisms and religious celebrations, Christmas shopping has always boosted the country’s economy in the last quarter of the year. In case of emergency shutdown in fact, during the Christmas period, according to a Censis-Confimprese report, there is a risk of burning 25,000 million euros and 2 million jobs. To do without altogether in a situation like the current one runs the risk of weighing too heavily on the already fragile shoulders of the Peninsula.

“This year there are no family or friends”
Christmas and New Years risk difficult management even in the family. Ramona Casamento, Bolognese, born in 1983, author of “From Three Children Up” has 5 children: the oldest is 19 years old, the second 17, the other 11, 4 and 2 years old. A significant compromise, which has become more complex after the Dpcm. “In this period – he says – family management was not easy, we all found ourselves at home from one day to the next. The oldest of my children, however, did his high school remotely. Shopping was complicated, only one of us could go and our purchases are always large in quantity, we have huge carts. Having a large family, however, helps: the older children take care of the younger ones. Find new ways to manage your daily routine, now we think about vacations. «Every year at Christmas we make a trip, in 2019 we were in Andalusia, the year before in Miami. New Years, however, we usually spend with friends and family. This time we won’t be able to do any of that. We will spend the holidays at home, we will celebrate among ourselves. There is a special “gift” for the party. «We will change houses – he concludes – we should move at the end of the month. Now that we live in an apartment, we will move to a villa in the Bolognese countryside. We also bought a pool table. There will be room for everyone. Let’s say that our Christmas will be a kind of party at home.
“The restricted dinners?” I end up losing “
The health emergency also puts traditional vacation dates at risk. And it also affects the world that revolves around the holidays. “The new Dpcm prohibits events, house parties, corporate, now suspended from March, until December 3, but I do not think that even after that date there are conditions to organize something – says Alessandro Tirindelli, owner of California Catering, from more 40 years of reference in the sector – and in any case we do not know what measures will be taken later, everything could even be closed. Of course, if house parties with at least 30 people were allowed, we could give it a try, but I think our sector is destined not to restart until next spring. Meanwhile, the catering is “suspended”. “Now, the banquet and catering business is closed – he continues – we have not been forced to stop it due to the measures established by the Dpcm, we had to do it because we could only remove it and it would not be profitable.” However, there is no shortage of projects. «We created a food academy as a matter of visibility. We do lessons for a few, strictly spaced, and we will propose some videos. Let’s say that we may not be able to organize large dinners, but we can teach how to prepare ad hoc dishes at home. We are studying the new program of lessons, some will be dedicated to Christmas recipes ». A way of being present in the sector.
Curfew, red, orange and yellow regions: the new prohibitions, from confinement to travel, bars and schools
“New Year, without parties, there are too many risks”
Christmas in danger, New Years “canceled”. For more than 17 years, FGB, owner of Extranight, has been organizing events for December 31st, but this year they decided not to even give it a try. “Seeing how things are going, I don’t think there is space to do anything – he says – The large chains we work with would be available to hold events in a very short time, but as a company we cannot take responsibility. We organize events in various Italian cities. We involve more than a thousand people and we have between 13,000 and 15,000 visitors. Having a New Year’s event has high costs. If I organize one for a thousand people, I balance the cost when I have 500, if I am forced to admit 300 I do not pay the costs ». Everything stopped and not just because of the “numbers”. “The new Dpcm limits us now, perhaps to make us enjoy the Christmas holidays, but I cannot hope that in a month the situation has improved enough to allow the New Year celebrations, however, the weather would not be enough. Therefore, I do not take risks from a business point of view but also from a conscience. Health above all, how to take responsibility for having a party? ». Skipping a year, however, will have relapses. “We all pay the price for the measures. I do it for one day, on New Year’s Eve, so we work all year round, but there are those who pay it every day like restaurants and hotels.
