In solidarity with Italy's crisis facing the coronavirus, Gwyneth Paltrow wanted to pay tribute to this country which holds an important place in her heart. "A love letter to Italy" is the title of a video published by the actress on Instagram in which we can see her roaming the Italian soil and tasting its treasures.
“I experienced some of the deepest moments of my life in Italy: My father died in Rome while we were there to celebrate my thirtieth birthday; Brad asked me to marry Umbria in 2017. Italy is a place we return to again and again. It is a country which believes deeply in the craft industry, the family, the hand-made, and the slow maturation of its products ”, wrote the star in a long post accompanying the video.
Make pasta!
Obviously, Gwyneth Paltrow wants Italy to come out of the epidemic as well as possible, which no longer spares a single region of the world.

My first trip to Italy was at the end of 1991. I had miraculously booked a TV movie that would start in the new year, so I quit my job at the fish restaurant in Santa Monica, borrowed money from my agent, and hopped on a plane. I met up with a college friend and we traversed the north on trains, spending Christmas with some family friends who were nonetheless strangers, and ending up in Venice. My next trip there was a few years later, when we moved to Rome to start preproduction on The Talented Mr. Ripley. I spent months succumbing to the delicious wildness of the south, with its incredible food and warm-hearted entropy. As it's transpired, I have had some of life's most profound happenings occur in Italy: My father died in Rome when we were on a road trip for my thirtieth birthday; Brad proposed to me in Umbria in 2017. Italy is a place we return to over and over. It is a country that believes deeply in the artisan, the family, the handmade, slow-grown quality of its goods. We make our G. Label clothing in its factories and, as it turns out, stock up on its low-temp-dried pasta, Neapolitan tomatoes, and fragrant olive oil during times at home. When this crisis started, we held Italy, China, South Korea, Iran, and the other countries affected in our prayers, and now we have all followed suit. Each of these places has shown us what strength, resilience, and community can do during these surreal times, strictly restricting movement, with some even singing from their balconies. I wish for all of us to heed these very real warnings so that this unprecedented crisis might pass quickly. Stay home. Make pasta. FaceTime your grandma. We will get through this.

So many good vibrations, it can't hurt!
