Helen Horgan, Irish, interviewed by Massimo Fotino, exclusive for The diagonales

Being on the road during the lockdown period can be a dangerous and distressing adventure, or it can lead to a lot of things you might never have seen. For example, welcome, solidarity. A deep region of South Italy and its people, seen by an unexpected guest.

Trovarsi in viaggio durante il periodo di lockdown può essere una avventura pericolosa e angosciante oppure può fare scoprire molte cose, che forse mai si sarebbero viste. Ad esempio l’accoglienza, la solidarietà. Una profonda regione del Sud Italia e la sua gente, visti da un’ospite inaspettata.
