Families and neighbours in Rome, Milan and other cities have been singing to each other from balconies
Italy remains on coronavirus lockdown and has reported 24,747 cases and 1,809 deaths due to the virus
The Italian airforce played Pavarotti singing Nessun Dorma as they put on an incredible air display to lift the spirits of their nation during the coronavirus lockdown.
In a performance which the airforce reportedly does on a regular basis, a set of jet fighters used coloured smoke to paint the Italian flag while the emotional song played.
The clip was shared by the Aeronautica Militare who said: 'Unity and teamwork have always been the principles on which our Armed Force is based and, at this moment more than ever, are fundamental.'
Footage of the event has gone viral on social media, with even Donald Trump sharing the video, declaring 'the United States love Italy.'
Many online praised the use of the song which has lyrics such as 'watch the stars that tremble with love and with hope' - saying it was fitting for the current circumstances.
Coronavirus deaths in Italy rose by 368 overnight to bring the total to 1,809, while 24,747 people have tested positive for the deadly bug.
Italian officials confirmed the jump today, as the national lockdown imposed by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte earlier this month rumbles on another week.
