These days we can see various musicians paying a tribute to the Maestro, e.g. Renaud Capuçon playing NUOVO CINEMA PARADISO in his backyard or Yo Yo Ma performing LA LEGGENDA DEL PIANISTA SULL'OCEANO at home but does anyone know if Morricone is well? I'm indeed very worried about his health because of the terrible drama currently taking place in Italy. Anyone?

Laurent, Let's pray to God he's okay, I can't imagine a World without "The Maestro"....unthinkable !
I have to admit I have never seen quite such a rock star response, even for Williams, and he looks so young. Although he must have been in his 70s.
As far as I know he is hunkered down in his beautiful house in Rome, buffered by his entire family. Last I heard his health deterioration has only come from his back problems and the natural stuff coming a man approaching 92.
Ennio Morricone's thoughts on the Coronavirus emergency
“I am closed at home with my wife Maria and I think that this necessary isolation established by the government will be enough to stem the evil that somehow surrounds us. I don't compose or listen to music, this isn't the time. I'm afraid, like everyone else. In recent days, my wife and I have been very worried about one of my children who has not been well, but is now feeling better and we are relieved. For the rest, however, we are certainly concerned about what is happening. I am very. We don't know where this will lead us."--- Google Translate
Piazza Navona is a chunk of streets away but if the wind was in the right direction...over a quiet city...its possible the music drifted over Ennio's house.
