Signor Fiorenzo of Bologna, Italy, called the law enforcement agency and ask to be able to share a Christmas toast with someone because he was alone at home.

"I don't miss anything, I only need a physical person with whom to exchange the Christmas toast. If there was a soldier available, 10 minutes to come and see me because I'm alone," Fiorenzo said on the phone.

Members of the Carabinieri went to the home of Fiorenzo, chatted with the elderly man, made a toast and then helped him reach relatives with video calls.
