Italian schools finally reopened today to welcome about 500,000 students due to undergo the oral “physical” test of their matura exam. Indeed, schools in Italy have been closed since March 5 over pandemic concerns, and the academic year could be saved only through online classes — which however were not accessible to everyone. That’s why no one will fail the exam. And that’s why at least the last day of the school term is a post-apocalyptic solo to be performed in the surreal silence of a deserted amphitheatre amidst masks and costumes. But finally offline.
