Haha, Lucio Battisti ! Great. Recently I discovered this one, "Ancora tu" (You again), quite funny :

Basically, the story of ex-lovers meeting by chance in the street. "Oh, you again ?" he says, "You didn't change, you are still so beautiful and unique, you look younger than ever, I could never forget you. How do you do, and, tell me, well... are you hungry ?"

Tanti auguri !

Thom Hogan reports that Nikon has suspended all equipment repairs due to COVID-19 - I'm not clear as to whether this is USA only, but from the text I assume so:

"Nikon prioritizes the health and safety of our employees and customers. Due to the impact of COVID-19 and in accordance with mandates issued by the federal government and various state governments, we have temporarily suspended equipment repairs at our service facilities and are not currently accepting equipment. Please contact Nikon customer support at nikonusa.com/support for more information. We apologize for this inconvenience and thank you for your understanding." This is the official word from NikonUSA as of end of day Friday.

Most registered users also received an email from Nikon Inc. President Bo Kajiwara that read: "We are all experiencing unprecedented circumstances around the world as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the virus. Nikon’s top priority is the health and safety of our customers, employees and the communities we serve. I am proud of the dedication of our Nikon team who are working remotely, and remain focused on providing the highest level of support possible at this difficult time. We are closely monitoring the situation and following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and federal/state/local health authorities. Nikon Inc. has taken steps to ensure the safety of its employees by instituting office closings and remote work strategies in line with state and federal government mandates. These include the temporary closure of our repair service centers to prioritize the safety of our workforce and help limit the spread of the virus."
