The new Corona virus prevents people from going out to parties, but it does not prevent artists from moving to their concerts in the squares of populated residents of Rome's popular neighborhoods, for their laughter and their enthusiasm for dancing.
An art group calling itself "Under the Sky Herself" occupied the common square of a popular housing complex, in the neighborhood of San Basilio, northeast of Rome.
A few days ago, artists performed a show in Courville, one of the largest building complexes in Europe, in front of open windows of residents who seemed happy to be able to escape - even for an hour - from their isolation while respecting the rules of home quarantine.
"This is a very popular show," Andrea Casta, the band's "star", told AFP. "We have a CD coordinator, and I play songs that motivate them to dance behind the windows." The electric violinist, Kasta, previously heard his music for those present at the Olympic Stadium in the Olympic capital during a football match between Lazio Roma and Inter Milan.
He pointed out that the band mixes several musical genres with a comical nature, and uses the songs of the neighborhood. "This is an open space and we will continue to go to the outskirts of Rome and other cities."
While Antonio Giuliani, a well-known comic in Rome, said, "It is better to see people on their porches than on the rich people on the veranda of theaters, those who enjoy the opportunity to live this situation more easily." We do not mean these (the wealthy), we only go to the popular neighborhoods. ”
In the square, some dance and clap their faces with masks. However, the greatest enthusiasm is the residents of the buildings on their balconies, where they sing, dance and laugh at jokes, and move their illuminated mobile phones to demand more.
The artists performed an exhibition in front of the residents' open windows.
