Italians Find ‘a Moment of Joy in This Moment of Anxiety’

Posted by Dorothy (New York City, NY) on 03/15/20 12:15 AM

Amidst all the worry, you might enjoy this inspiring article that appeared today in the NY Times, a testimony to the human spirit:

Under lockdown to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, song breaks out from rooftops, balconies and windows.

I logged in to post this but you bet me to it. I love this. I hope they can keep up the community spirit . . . and I hope we can be as cheerful (although I can't see anyone breaking out in community song as most of us do not live so closely packed).

Thank you Dorothy! I also viewed this on the National News this evening. In addition I listened to a Tenor sing from a balcony in Florence. It was lovely and put a smile on my face. We can all learn from this. Truly inspiring!
