An Italian football player found a way to play baseball on his balcony during the coronavirus lockdown.

Marco Negri, 50, a retired football player, sets up the mini baseball court with the help of his wife Monica inside their home in Bologna, Italy, on April 21.

He said: "I started to do these videos just to bring a small smile on this terrible period."

Italy has been one of the most badly-hit countries by the COVID-19 accounting for more than 26,000 deaths so far.
