This section is a collection of thoughts, articles and reflections of the Sermig Fraternity and of some collaborators of our magazine Nuovo Progetto, which emerge from having experienced the Coronavirus pandemic that in this first part 2020 has hit all humanity hard.
Following a chronological order of publication, we offer them to all those who have the pleasure of cultivating thoughts, motivations and even spirituality with us, to start better than before.
We believe this is only possible by stopping for a moment to reflect.
