<p><em>Italy is experiencing a health, economic, social and educational emergency caused by the pandemic spread of COVID-19. The article illustrates the results of a research on the impacts that the restrictions imposed by the Italian government have had on population, which suddenly had to deal with gradually increasing limitations of personal and social freedom, interrupting the usual way of life for an unknown time. The research follows an integrated approach: medical humanities represent the theoretical reference scenario for reading the social perceptions of Covid-19; emotional education for the re-planning of existences; sustainable educational planning for the prospects of change.</em></p>
