ROME – In Italy, it seems, true love will always find a way, even in the time of the coronavirus.
A Facebook post went viral after a male nurse at a southern hospital proposed to his girlfriend with the big question scrawled on the back of her protective clothing from head to toe.
In the post, which had received more than 500 “likes” as of Saturday, Giuseppe Pungente shared a photo of himself in a corridor of the respiratory ward of the Ostuni hospital in Puglia, with his back to the camera.
“Carmeli, do you want to marry me?” it was the message written on the back of Pungente’s robe, with a “Yes” and a “No” underneath.
In his New Year’s post, Pungente wrote that as a nurse “on the front lines of the fight against the virus” who had recovered from Covid-19, “I have developed the idea that real life is made up of small and simple stuff….”
“As close friends, biological family and the one from the future, together with you, Carmen Pinto.”
The sixteenth message below his picture was Pinto replying “YESSSSSSSSS” followed by seven heart emojis.
Pungente contracted Covid-19 at the beginning of the pandemic in March, and in recent days he was vaccinated, La Repubblica newspaper reported.
