Claudio Lavanga, NBC News’ Rome correspondent, has reported on a wide variety of stories. Most recently, he has helped document the pandemic’s terrible toll in Italy, where over 104,000 have died and almost 3.5 million been sickened. Now, as the country goes through a third Covid-19 wave, he describes how his family became part of the story.
ROME — Since Italy became the epicenter of the Covid-19 pandemic in Europe, I have kept track of the number of people testing positive every day. It quickly reached into the tens of thousands a cold daily toll, a war bulletin in a fight against an invisible enemy.
Then, on Jan. 23, that number struck home.
Of 1,331 people in Italy testing positive that day, one of them was my mother, Antonia — known to everybody who knew her as Antonietta.
So after a year of staying away because of Covid-19, I realized it was time to go back to the two-story white house I grew up in on the outskirts of Milan. It was time for me to see my mother — even from afar.
Antonietta greeted me from an annex above our family home where she is isolating from my father with my sister Maria, who earlier this year decided to quarantine with my mother and ended up catching the virus.
Antonietta caught Covid-19 in another place that should’ve been a safe zone: a so-called Covid-free hospital. She has cancer and had been admitted for a series of tests in the oncology department.
The day after she checked in, I called to ask if she had slept well, and she told me: “No, a lady in my room coughed all night.”
Two days later, the roommate tested positive, and my mother was moved to isolation until the result of her own test came back.
The hospital was not equipped to deal with coronavirus patients, so terrified staff rarely entered her room. They would leave the food outside the door, like in a prison. To my mother, Covid-19 felt like a life sentence.
Three days later, she tested positive.
That this virus snuck into a hospital that was supposed to be free of it is a metaphor for Italy.
On a recent night, with my mother and sister held captive by the virus upstairs, my father and I sat at the kitchen table with a bottle of Primitivo — a red wine from the south of Italy where both he and my mother were born. Sharing a glass of wine is something I had wanted to do with my father long before I was of legal drinking age.
The oldest picture I have with my father is of me as a toddler trying to grab a glass of wine he was holding in his hand. These days it is me pouring it for him.
He told how, during one of his visits back home, he met my mother at a family dinner.
“We looked at each other: We knew,” he said.
What he is most proud of, he said, is that to marry my mother he didn’t have to kidnap her. In those days in small towns in the south, arranged marriages were still commonplace and couples often had to resort to “kidnapping” to marry their true loves.
Not so my parents. In their case there was no need for a kidnap or a shotgun wedding.
