The Roman officers stayed with them and asked about their long lives together. The police were called to the home of an elderly couple in Rome who had been heard in hysterics. Many commended the officers for their thoughtfulness and others wondered how they might visit or write to the couple to help allay their loneliness. The Roman police department’s post was shared close to 24,000 times, with several thousand commenting on the heartrending yet beautiful tale. The couple spoke of their isolation, especially in the summer months, when their neighbors go away.
