As Italy lifts its coronavirus lockdown, one bookstore owner is relieved to be earning again — but another fears reopening could destroy his business.

Italy has been slammed by the coronavirus pandemic. More than 29,000 people have died. Italy's lockdown has also been exceptionally aggressive. In many parts of Italy, people would get fined hundreds of dollars if they were caught outside without an urgent reason.

Now, though, Italy is lifting its lockdown. And nobody really knows what to expect. Today, we talk to two business owners in two different parts of Italy. They both own and operate bookstores, but they have very different feelings about emerging from lockdown. One is relieved to be earning again. The other worries reopening could destroy his business.
