Sara Passoni - Stay at home, Milan (Italy)

from #StayHomeSounds (volume 2) by Cities and Memory

/

about

Milan lockdown sound recorded by Sara Passoni.

"Milano, Lombardy, Italy, March 29th: the local police is driving around the neighborhood, urging the population to stay at home by means of a recorded message on behalf of the city mayor, which is played through a loudspeaker.

"Meanwhile, one of the countless ambulances is running for the next emergency. No traffic: only birds and ambulances can be heard in a normally very busy and loud city.

"Lombardy has paid the highest death toll in Italy. We've sung together from our balconies, we've made friends with our neighbors: I drink aperitifs with them at dusk, each of us from our balcony, and we have a chat together. It helps feeling we're not alone, that we care for each other."
