Italy: Rome police cook pasta for elderly couple heard crying in their apartment

For this elderly Italian couple, a visit from the police ended in a plate of spaghetti.
Four officers attended the scene and found 84-year-old Jole and her 94-year-old husband Michele in their small flat. The elderly couple hadn’t committed a crime. Nor had burglars attempted to break in.

The couple, who have been married for nearly 70 years,- they were simply lonely.



Jole and Michele had started to cry while watching television. The former had asked her husband why there was so much hate in the news that day and Jole had cried so loudly that someone in the building called the police.

"There is not a crime. Jole and Michele are not victims of scams and no thief entered the house - there is no one to save," the police force said on its Facebook page.

"This time, for the boys, there is a more daunting task - two lonely souls who need reassuring.

"They understand that just a little human warmth will restore tranquility to Jole and Michele."
