As Italian citizens remain on lockdown, people are turning to social media to spread light in a time of darkness.
While community members cannot be physically together, people all across the country have been posting photos and videos to show support for their fellow people, reported People.
In one video, which was taken in Siena, people's voices can be heard singing together, as residents continue to keep a positive overlook due to COVID-19.
“People of my hometown #Siena sing a popular song from their houses along an empty street to warm their hearts during the Italian #Covid_19 #lockdown,” one social media user wrote.
“My street is empty. All are closed in homes because of the corona. Then one neighbor starts singing. Followed by another And suddenly the whole street sings together. We are not alone, and we will hold on,” one user said while posting another video.
