For more than 30 years, Mauro Morandi has been the sole inhabitant of Budelli, an Italian island in the Mediterranean Sea. As the global coronavirus crisis unfolds, he now faces eviction from 'the safest place on Earth.'
Fonnesu says there is no set date for Morandi's eventual eviction, given that it will take months before the reconstruction phase kicks off.
Locals complain about the romantic portrait painted of Morandi by foreign media, hailing him as a bon sauvage"hermit." In truth, says Fonnesu, he's"an illegal occupant" of Budelli. "I don't even want to think about it," he says."I have no house and would need to find one here in Sardinia, in some place cheaper than La Maddalena Archipelago, where prices are way too high."
Left alone, he spends the day admiring the sea, inhaling the pure air, collecting wood, preparing his meals and -- of course -- posting on social networks.
