An 81-year-old former Alpine
veteran who won plaudits for serenading his COVID-affected wife
outside her hospital window in November is now entertaining his
fellow COVID patients in another nearby clinic near the northern
Italian town of Piacenza.
The former member of the crack 'Black Plumes' regiment, Stefano
Bozzini, is playing his accordion for his fellow COVID sufferers
at the virus centre at Cortemaggiore.
The old soldier is not in a serious condition, unlike his wife
who died from complications due to COVID-19 in the hospital at
Castelsangiovanni where his serenades made him famous.
"Sometimes while I'm playing," he told the Libertà daily of
Piacenza, "people come into the room and try out their dance
moves".
His daughter Lucia said the chance of playing his beloved
instrument had "helped him both morally and physically".
