Quarantined Italians Sing Together From Windows and Balconies

Don’t be surprised if you tear up watching this video of an Italian neighborhood gathering on windows and balconies to sing in the middle of the country lockdown. Millions of people are forced to stay inside due to coronavirus and, being a happy and joyful nation, Italians quickly found a way to make the lockdown more fun and to connect with neighbors even though they can’t leave their homes.

Every night at 6. p.m., as the state announces the number of new coronavirus cases for the previous day, Italians in many cities gather to sing as a sign of protest and a way to boost morale.

Below is a video from the city of Siena that you can watch, but there are many more videos circulating around social media from other places in Italy!
