An Italian couple who met in what would be termed as a Shakespearean coincidence is set to walk down the aisle.
The pair first started interacting when they were standing on their balconies during lockdown period in the country.
Paola and Michele were part of a community concert thrown in their block where neighbours stood out of their houses and held a performance while social distancing.
Paola was the one who first saw Michele and felt like their souls immediately intertwined.
At that time, the lawyer’s sister was playing the violin and she was in charge of making sure the sound was top notch.
Michele, who is 38 years old, made the first move and sniffed through Instagram till he found his wonder woman’s account.
He followed Paola and spoke to her through the night till around 3am.
After their conversation, Michele wrote Paola’s name on a huge banner and hang it outside his house to profess his love for the lady he could not stop thinking about.

The pair told The Times they are already planning their wedding and hope to hold it in the large roof terrace of Michele’s apartment building.
In other news, Chris Kirubi, who loves his alone time admitted he views marriage as a form of enslavement or jail.
The father and businessman added people needed to be careful when it came to settling down and advised them to be sure of their decisions whenever they considered tying the knot.
“Marriage is enslavement and you need to be careful. You have to agree to go into slavery, to go to jail,” Kirubi said.
The Capital FM owner further told comedian Churchill that once a person made the decision to be a slave for the rest of their life, then there is no turning back.
