Italy is under lockdown given the Covid-19 situation.
But just because people are choosing to self-isolate, does not necessarily mean that they have retreated into their homes all the time.
According to a number of videos being shared on Twitter, several residents in Italy have managed to partake in neighbourly social activities without even leaving their flats.
Here's a bunch of people in Sicily performing a song and singing from their balcony:
