Candles and Chopin as concerts resume in Italy
Candlelight accompanied the music of Chopin
as live classical music events resume in Italy
Date: May 10
Pianist Giuseppe Califano played for a socially distanced audience
in a garden in Rome's Appian Way Regional Park
(SOUNDBITE) (Italian) PIANIST, GIUSEPPE CALIFANO, SAYING:
"This scenario couldn't have been more inspiring. It certainly has its relevance, but another positive aspect is that now we are able to share live music with people. I still can't believe it. I feel very excited, I really believe in sharing with others."
The event is one of the first live evening concerts to take place
since the easing of Italy's lockdown
