The Italians

Italians are a zesty bunch of people, and have a flare for creativity and madness. That’s not all, they are generally up-beat people, who are always happy and loud. So, it is no shocker when we see the Italian cities Palermo, Torino, Rome, Naples, Milan, Florence, Bologna, and Siena dance their hearts out to Pharrell Williams’ international hit song “Happy”.

 

Why Are They Dancing?

Because happiness is in the air…
and they know it to be true.
Because when they heard the song…
this is what they wanted to do.
Because they are, Italians…
and they feel like a room without a roof.

The International Phenomenon

This song is viral and contagious, and perhaps this is why it succeeded in becoming an International Phenomenon. The 24-hour long video is a compilation of videos of people from cities around the world – all dancing, all being happy.
