While millions of Italians live in lockdown as the country reacts to the COVID-19 outbreak, this video from the city of Siena shows the triumph of the human spirit.

The (roughly translated) caption reads, "In Siena, the city in which I live, you stay at home but you sing together as if you were on the street. I was moved."

As Twitter user commented, "leave it to the Italians to find beauty in tragedy."
