An Italian pensioner's sweet gesture to hold on to the memory of his late wife has gone viral. The 70-year-old man has been carrying his late wife's photograph to the beach every day and has chosen to share his story.

Septuagenarian Giuseppe Giordano lost his wife Ida around seven years ago but that doesn't stop him from carrying a framed photograph of her along with him when he visits the beach in their hometown of Gaeta. Giordano, who was married to Ida for around 50 years, shares that he carries the photo because he "doesn't want to feel alone". Giuseppe's story went viral and got a lot of attention when a local restaurant owner Giorgio Moffa posted a picture of him at the beach on social media.
