US Navy Band Pays Tribute to Italy With Traditional Neapolitan Tune

Members of a US Navy band stationed in Italy came together online during the coronavirus lockdown to perform a classic song in honor of their host nation.

This footage shows members including singer Cristiana Rojas of the US Naval Forces Europe-Africa/US Sixth Fleet Band, which is stationed in Naples, playing the Neapolitan song O Sole Mio.

The band wrote on Facebook, “We dedicate our performance to our Italian allies and partners. Because today is the World Health Organization’s World Health Day, we also want to recognize health care workers around the world, fighting on the front lines to defeat the virus. Thank you all for what you are doing every day.” Credit: U.S. Naval Forces Europe Band via Storyful
