Soundscape from my balcony, northern Italy

Italian lockdown sounds recorded by Stephono Zip.

"I live in Italy, precisely in Northern Italy, which is the part of my country that has been most affected by the pandemic.

"I manage a record store that I have been obliged to close, and nobody knows for how long. I pass my days listening to music, reading books and making music. My 2 cats sometimes participate.

"What I miss the most is walking in nature; in my city there is a natural park where you can also see - if you have luck - deers, boars, squirrels and foxes and look at many birds such as buzzards and woodpeckers.

"So now I'm making friends with blackbirds and magpies flying around my balcony."
