A very happy new year message from our 2020 TANK Trust Laureate Christian De Luca - you can watch the full performance on his IG page @christiandeluca93 In a time where we are "limited" to just fly with our imagination, we still hope to be able to fly again for real very soon. This is what @aeroporti_di_roma wishes to all of us in this video!... Honored for being able to contribute to its making! From what I know, this is the first time in history someone has allowed a piano on a runway for a video shooting. Happy New Year to everyone!
