Today we travel to Milan, Italy, the longstanding epicenter of the European coronavirus epidemic, to meet Scott Green, who's been living there since before the severe lockdown there. We talk about his Italian partner's baking and cooking, the difference between cats and dogs during a pandemic, and smiling and waving at strangers. Scott is clear-eyed about the slow re-opening of Milan, Italy, and the world, but embraces the Italian motto "Andra tutto bene"--Everything is going to be okay. He tells the story of a tiny, elderly woman who, at the grocery store, truly embodies that motto.
