Olimpia Milano owner Giorgio Armani sent out an open letter in support of the healthcare professionals who are offering their expertise in the fight against coronavirus in Italy, which has recorded the highest death toll of the pandemic, surpassing China where the virus first broke out.
Armani has donated 1.25 million euros to a range of Italian hospitals and institutions involved in fighting the coronavirus spread in the country.
His letter, published on the team’s website, reads:
It is moving to see you engaged in your work with the difficulties and great efforts that the whole world now knows. And above all I see you cry. I believe this feeling is connected to my desire to pursue a medical career when I was young and looking for my own way. The Giorgio Armani organization is sensitive to this reality and is close to all of you: from the stretcher-bearer to the nurse, from general practitioners to all the specialists in the sector. I am personally close to you.
