The Vogue Italia April Issue will be out next Friday 10th. ??? “In its long history stretching back over a hundred years, Vogue has come through wars, crises, acts of terrorism. Its noblest tradition is never to look the other way. Just under two weeks ago, we were about to print an issue that we had been planning for some time, and which also involved L’Uomo Vogue in a twin project. But to speak of anything else – while people are dying, doctors and nurses are risking their lives and the world is changing forever – is not the DNA of Vogue Italia. Accordingly, we shelved our project and started from scratch. The decision to print a completely white cover for the first time in our history is not because there was any lack of images – quite the opposite. We chose it because white signifies many things at the same time. ??? White is first of all respect. White is rebirth, the light after darkness, the sum of all colours. White is the colour of the uniforms worn by those who put their own lives on the line to save ours. It represents space and time to think, as well as to stay silent. White is for those who are filling this empty time and space with ideas, thoughts, stories, lines of verse, music and care for others. White recalls when, after the crisis of 1929, this immaculate colour was adopted for clothes as an expression of purity in the present, and of hope in the future. Above all: white is not surrender, but a blank sheet waiting to be written, the title page of a new story that is about to begin.” #EmanueleFarneti @EFarneti #imagine #FarAwaySoClose #WhiteCanvas — Read the full Editor’s letter via link in bio.

Ogni mattina, percorrendo i 55 km di strada che la dividono dall'ospedale di Bergamo dove lavora, la dottoressa Caterina Conti pensa a quanto il suo lavoro possa fare la differenza. «Mi attacco a quel pensiero. Poi faccio un bel respiro, compongo il numero di mia nonna e la terrorizzo un po’: magari anche oggi riesco a farla stare in casa». Conti è pneumologa nell'Unità operativa complessa di Pneumologia, l’ospedale è il Papa Giovanni XXIII di Bergamo, l'epicentro dell'emergenza Coronavirus. Nella fatica del suo mestiere c’è anche la gestione psicologica di una malattia che è nuova. Nei pazienti quel che fa paura è anche sentirsi soli, smarriti, incapaci di comprendere il susseguirsi delle cose. «I parenti dei malati non possono venire a visitarli, li avvisiamo: è pericoloso anche per voi». Ma l’ansia e l’amore formano ogni giorno, fuori dall’ospedale, un fila di figli, mogli, mariti con un sacchetto in mano. Dentro c’è sempre un pigiama che vorrebbero consegnare, una piccola scusa per cercare di vedere i malati o almeno avere notizie» #IOCISONO ? @marcogarofalophoto
