Medics decked out in protective suits came together to wish a happy birthday to a patient in the Italian Army’s field hospital in the northern Italian city of Piacenza on March 30.

The group sang happy birthday to their patient Bruno, presented him with a paper certificate, and brought him a cake.

Choked up, Bruno thanked his well-wishers and said the gesture was “marvelous” and “beautiful.”

“This is the Italian Army, this is the Italy that the world likes! Happy birthday Bruno, our guest in the field hospital in Piacenza!” wrote the Italian Army on their social posts.

As of Tuesday, March 31, Italy had reported 101,739 confirmed cases of coronavirus and 11,591 deaths. Credit: Esercito Italiano via Storyful
