sarà


Explanation:
the word is not "sara" but "sarà": and "sarà" can be translated as "it will be". It's a future tense.
Good luck

True progress is to go back to the way it was


Explanation:
Another suggestion to underline the paradox of the sentence (going forward really means going backwards) using "go back" that is more explicit than return and "the way it was" for "antico."
