I have a medical condition that courses me constant pain in both my legs and feet. I discovered Va Pensiero during the Covid lockdown and found listening to this music eases my pain and has an emotional effect that no other music has ever had. Finally at the end I have tears in my eyes. It has become my musical therapy. I have to hear every day and feel if I didn’t, I might go mad.
