One of the baskets with food and other goods hanging from balconies and left at disposition of people in need during the coronavirus emergency in Milan, Italy, Saturday, April 4, 2020. The initiative, dubbed "hanging baskets", was born after an old Neapolitan tradition, that of the "hanging coffee" (Caffe' sospeso) that customers pay in bars and are left at disposition of whoever enters the bar and asks for it. The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.
