Who is Luca Petrogalli?

When the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater suspended all classes and locked down its campus in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many students went home. But one, 19-year-old and freshman from the city of Turin in northern Italy did not! Going home was not an option as Italy is also locked down fighting to prevent further spread. Isolated at the university campus, Petrogalli continues to manage to keep himself busy with TikTok.
