“A whole country in quarantine. Besieged by an invisible enemy. To be defeated by any means, before it's too late”.*

There are many stories of the events in this country, where, “All of Italy is a protected area”.

Viraggio, 2017
And sometimes it is the one you overlook which make for that story.

So, reading la Repubblica today I came across a report that Italia 1, which is a TV channel aimed at children and young people has “revolutionized programming with tailor-made proposals for the younger audience, forced to stay at home due to the coronavirus emergency .

It starts early in the morning with the best cartoons dedicated to the little ones. 

From 8.30 the BBC documentary series Planet Earth 2 - Wonders of nature begins : an exciting journey through the most beautiful panoramas of planet Earth made with the highest cinematic quality. 

From about 9.30 The Flash, the series dedicated to the fastest superhero in the world, restarts : three episodes of the first season every morning.


Alghero, 2017
In the afternoon, at 2 pm the usual appointments with the cult series The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory are confirmed . 

From 16 a sequence of films suitable for the whole family, timeless stories for those who have more time to spend at home in this period. 

Among the titles on the program Snow White and the Hunter , Beauty and the Beast , Paddington , Puss in Boots , The Little Prince , Tarzan , all the films in the Shrek saga and many others.
