Italian things...

Italy used "wine windows" during The Plague and now they are open again during the corona virus pandemic.

All over Florence, Italy, has these cute little things called, buchetta del vino, which means wine window in English.

Back in the day, the rich Italians who owned vineyards would sell wine directly to the customers through these tiny windows in the walls.

But in the 1630s, the wine windows got really good use because of the Black death. It was a way to sell socially distanced wine and hopefully not catch the literal Plague.
