On Tuesday, thriving cities like Rome, Milan and Venice became ghost towns. Italians are facing a new reality of life with a curfew, travel restrictions and enforced space between people in public places, as the country reports more than 9,000 infections and more than 630 deaths.CNN spoke to a journalist for Italian national newspaper la Repubblica, Beniamino Pagliaro, who described the measures as unprecedented.
I'm not proud to say this, but when Conte announced the new measures -- the lockdown of the entire country, bringing the whole country to the same level as Lombardy -- at that moment, some people panicked and were hundreds of people running to supermarkets in the night to buy things. I'm afraid we are still very irrational in these kind of things.But this happens in London, Berlin and New York, it's not just Italians.
