"We currently have a lot of restrictions here," painter Aldo Sergio tell us from his apartment in Milan, Italy, "And you can only go out to the supermarket, so the only photos outside I took on that occasion or from the balcony of the house." We continue to be shocked at the shared world crisis at the moment, as our friends from San Francisco to Rome to Milan and beyond as sheltered in place, hoping to stem the spread of Covid-19 and hopefully get our daily lives back to some semblance of normalcy. 

In our series, "Art In Uncertain Times," we have been asking artists about their new plans and routines, how their daily lives have been impacted, and, in some cases, how they now see the rest of the world following into their nornal schedule of isolation. We asked Mr Sergio to give us a peek into his day yesterday, so follow along in the gallery above, or right here. Even the acto of having to fill out a form to go outside is something that would have boggled our minds just a few weeks ago.
