Moving to rural villages


While we are still seeing detrimental COVID-19 effects on the towns worldwide, the number of new infected people continues to rise in my country. Today, on October 21st, there were 15,911 new COVID-19 cases in Italy. In terms of new infections, it is the Italian record in one single day.

In this perspective, many people, who have the opportunity to work remotely, are moving to rural villages to stay safe and live healthier lifestyles. Actually, If I had the opportunity to live in a rural village, I would leave the big town.

A friend of mine, who had left a big city one month ago, sent me a picture of two young donkeys. Since he has been living in a small rural village, he has had the opportunity to enjoy things like that in the picture below.


I have heard that donkey milk has been successfully with regard to children with cow's milk protein allergy, as its composition is more similar to human milk than ruminant milk.


Safeguarding native donkey breeds represents an opportunity for the development of rural and marginal areas, given that donkey milk is now appearing on the market due to its potential benefits for human health.

  1. Hi Giorgio,

    I wish you are safe and healthy there. Same here, in Indonesia, the numbers keep going up, and I dunno when it will end :/

    Many people also move to Bali island and other island or small villages, because they feel more safe. By the way, the donkeys look cute! Hahahaha.

    Kind regards, from Bali :D

  4. New COVID-19 infections are mainly increasing in big town, because of airports, train stations, ports, gatherings, etc. Actually, moving to rural areas is the poeple's reaction, as they are afraid big town are more dangerous than rural areas and small villages.

    The right answers are always the same: wear a mask, wash your hand, and respect social distancing rules.

    Thanks for sharing your point of view. Take care!
