"I didn't meet all requirements for the 600-euro month to month government gift since I earned in excess of 10,000 euros a year ago," she told AFP.

"During the emergency, I had tranquil many days when I felt totally lost, with no state help. I could no longer observe the future and I didn't have the foggiest idea what to clutch," she said.

"I don't accept anything. I rely upon my accomplice for the shopping," said Fogliacco.

"This circumstance has changed everyone's lifestyle (and) everything will be convoluted" later on, she included.
