With masks Totti crowns his dream: a quiet outing in downtown Rome. Here are the photos

The pandemic has now accustomed us to cityscapes populated with people who, even outdoors, walk around wearing masks, often covered up to their eyes, even when they would not need to (i.e., when outdoors it is possible to observe safe distances, as all current ordinances say). And many will have noticed how difficult it is to recognize a friend walking around masked, and perhaps wearing a pair of dark glasses or a hat. That must be what former footballer Francesco Totti, the historic Roma captain among Italy’s most popular sportsmen, thought, as he took advantage of the occasion and the propensity of Italians to do even more than what the law prescribes, to indulge in what in normal times he could not do: a quiet ride with his wife in the center of Rome.

Imagine what it would mean, for a well-known and popular personality like Francesco Totti, to stroll through the busiest streets of Rome ... barefaced. It would be an impossible feat. Which becomes feasible, however, if you walk around with a heavy dark mask and a baseball cap well lowered over your eyes: this is the outfit with which the former Roma number 10 went downtown with his wife, showgirl Ilary Blasi. The footballer then documented the unusual outing with Instagram stories. In the video, to the tune of Fabio Concato’s Che domenica bestiale, we then see the couple heading on a scooter to the Vittoriano, walking down Via del Corso (and with the camera on his cell phone, Totti frames the sign that indicates the name of the street: evidently for him a tour of Rome’s shopping street is more unique than rare), posing for a photo in front of the Pantheon and the Trevi Fountain, and taking a look at Piazza Colonna. And frame passers-by, themselves masked, who do not recognize them.

Here, below, are some immmages of Totti and Ilary Blasi among the wonders of Rome.
