The Easter Sunday concert will take place at 1 p.m. ET. Those interested in tuning in can check it out on Bocelli's YouTube channel.
For those who would traditionally go to church to celebrate the holiday but cannot this year due to social distancing guidelines, this virtual concert from inside a historical cathedral may help you feel more connected to others this Easter.
Italy is among the countries hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic with more than 17,000 people having died from COVID-19 as of Wednesday, according to the World Health Organization's statistics. However, the rate of people dying from the disease in Italy has slowed in recent days.
