Sounds in many ways like the "lockdown" in Italy is less extensive than much of what has been done in the United States over the last week or so.
I really think we need to start acknowledging the cultural differences between these two nations (nevermind the geographical or demographic ones).
I think we'd be hard pressed to find a more sociable group of people on the planet than the Italians and if these restrictions truly are relatively benign in many ways, they're going to continue to congregate.
