Stefano Bozzini, who became famous for humming his wife under a hospital window, is now hosting his fellow patients at the COVID-19 center.

The image of an 81-year-old Italian man humming his wife under a hospital window touched hearts around the world last November.

Stefano Bozzini, a retired member of the Italian army’s Alpini mountain infantry, became famous for playing the accordion for his wife, Carla Sacchi, at his hospital in Castel S. Giovanni near Piacenza.

Stefano was not admitted to hospital because of Italian covid-19 restrictions so instead she sits on the page below with her accordion, singing Carla’s song for weeks with all the songs that define their 47 years of marriage together.

Since then Carla has died and now Stefano has been treated at a covid clinic near Cortemaggiore, but he is reportedly not in a serious condition.

Stefano’s kids make sure he brings his most precious possession – his accordion – and now the old soldier is hosting fellow patients at the hospital.

His daughter, Lucia, told the Piacenza daily newspaper Freedom that a trusted instrument had helped his father “morally but also physically.”

Regarding Stefano himself, he said: “Sometimes when I am playing, people come into the room, try a few dance steps and then leave.”
