An 81-year-old former member of
Italy's crack Alpine regiment has gained a big social media
following by serenading his COVID-positive wife outside her
hospital window after visits were banned in the second wave of
the pandemic.
Stefano Bozzini, aka 'the Gianni Morandi of the Alpini' as his
former comrades call him at reunions, has used his trusty
accordion to play the favourite romantic standards of his wife
Carla having set up a stool outside the hospital at
Castelsangiovanni near Piacenza.
Interviewed by the Piacenza daily Libertà, Bozzini said "it was
a sunny day, I would have liked to play longer, for the whole
day".
