CAREFREE
«The elderly are the ones who have suffered the most from the pandemic – reveals the head of the office, Alice Calligaro – they have been cut off from the world, but above all from their families. The last time a major event affected the carnival party, it was February 2020, the following week the closure ordinance started. It was a difficult time for all employees, we found it short that China was far away. Nothing wrong anymore. However, within our walls, the animation continued, although considering the distance, there was no important contact with the outside world, with families ». The rules did not disappear yesterday either, the entry protocol, the temperature measurement, the obligation to wear a mask and those who marched without a mask had to check their green passport the same morning. Even the after-show was shared for the buffet, with Casa Serena staff serving the elderly on one side and family members on the other at the entrance to protect the most vulnerable guests. We breathed a carefree atmosphere that reminds us how much life is a wheel and that we can grow old with positive energy. With that hint of lipstick and blush that revitalizes skin that tastes of wisdom. The red carpet will be repeated at the spring-summer runway show, but this time outside on the entrance ramp of Casa Serena.
