| New York Times reporter Elisabetta Povoledo wrote an article recently regarding 81 year old accordionist Stefano Bozzini. Because of coronavirus restrictions in Italy, thousands of people have not been able to visit loved ones in hospitals, regardless of their ailment or how ill they are. This has very sadly been happening in many parts of the world. However, that didn’t stop Stefano Bozzini. In November, Stefano, plunked himself in the courtyard of a hospital in Castel San Giovanni, a town in the central region of Reggio Emilia, and began playing his accordion under the second-story window of his wife of 47 years, Carla Sacchi, who was hospitalized for an illness unrelated to Covid-19. He played a few of her favorite songs, including “Spanish Eyes,” the 1965 Bert Kaempfert classic made popular by the crooners Al Martino, Engelbert Humperdinck and Elvis Presley. The couple’s son, Maurizio Bozzini, recorded the serenade and sent it to a friend who posted it on Facebook. Local and international media picked up the video, a soulful testament of profound love in these sad times." Very sadly, Carla Sacchi died at home a short time later at the age of 74. |
