A man has been reunited with his family for the first time in 42 days after contracting Covid-19.
An emotional clip shows the moment taxi driver Marco Barbieri, 56, arrived home to meet his wife and children in the Italian capital of Rome.
His daughter Clarissa Barbieri shared the video on her Facebook page where it has been widely circulated.

Clarissa said: "They were 40 days of hell in which I cried and wondered why this was happening.
"If you don't have it, you may not believe the virus can touch you, but it takes people you love away from you. My father is a beast, a warrior."
Marco first noticed coronavirus symptoms - a high temperature and a cough - on March 18, according to Italian media.
He then started developing breathing problems and was taken to Sant'Eugenio Hospital before being moved to Lazzaro Spallanzani National Institute for Infectious Diseases, Gazzetta reports.
He tested positive for Covid-19 in the ambulance and was then quarantined.
Mr Barbieri used to be the director of security at AC Roma.
He remembered as the person who lifted Francesco Totti on his shoulders to the dressing room in June 2001 to celebrate Roma's championship victory.
Italy has registered 205,463 cases of Covid-19 and 27,967 related deaths.
