Waiting for our train out of Venice, we explore the interior of Santa Lucia station, listening to the throb and drone of train engines, station announcements and the comings and goings of passengers. Despite being in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic, the station sounds and looks quite normal, with only face masks and the occasional public health announcement over the PA system giving us a clue of the time we're currently living through.
