“I have shivers up and down my spine, because we left the slopes on the famous March 8 of 2020, rushing to Rome because everything was going into lockdown. We did the last run on this slope, looking at each other and asking ourselves, ‘When can we get back?’ It took nearly two years.” –Monica Meloni, 53,  Rome
