Kate Langbroek celebrates her second day of freedom in Italy after weeks of lockdown

She’s spent almost 10 weeks in lockdown with her family at their apartment in Bologna, Italy, amid the coronavirus pandemic.

And on Tuesday, Kate Langbroek celebrated her second day of freedom as restrictions slowly start to ease.  

The 54-year-old enjoyed a takeaway Aperol Spritz and some cocktails with husband Peter Lewis outside a duomo (church) at their local piazza. 

Kate joked that finding a takeaway shop serving drinks and some salami and bread twists was like a ‘miracle.’

‘We ventured out in early evening and tried to buy masks but the chemist had none… and then – like a miracle – we found a little sandwich shop making takeaway SPRITZES,’ Kate said on Instagram, sharing a picture of her and her man enjoying their drinks. 

‘We got an Aperol and some other bitter one, and cause it would normally be aperitivo time, the owner gave us a little container with salami and crunchy bread twists and we sat on the steps of the duomo at the piazza in the lovely air and we were sort of, not quite, kinda normal.’

Kate added hashtags including ‘first spritz of spring.’

On Monday, Kate revealed online that she and Peter left the house for the first time in nearly 10 weeks, with the pair going for a drive and even visiting a friend at his restaurant. 

‘We left the house. We drove in the car. We saw trees and dogs and cyclists and walkers. We saw our friend Giovanni at his restaurant,’ she wrote enthusiastically.

The couple drove past parks, which she said was a wonderful sight to behold after so many weeks cooped up at home. 

She wrote: ‘[We] smelled honeysuckle. We felt the breeze. So much green. So much blue. I hope the world continues to open: it is glorious.’

Kate concluded by saying the family had ordered takeaway for dinner, giving her a well-deserved night off. 

‘Also, how good is takeaway food and not having to cook????’ she wrote.

Italy is leading Europe in easing lockdown restrictions. Parks have reopened and factories have been allowed to resume production.

The country had only 174 deaths on Sunday, the lowest figure since the lockdown went into effect on March 10.

In Italy, there are 213,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus and have been 29,315 deaths. 

Kate lives in Italy with her husband Peter Allen Lewis and their four children. she previously revealed that Peter was being sued by the city of Bologna for breaking lockdown rules.

The couple relocated from Melbourne to Italy with their children in early 2019 for what was supposed to be a ‘family gap year’.

They have since extended their stay for another 12 months.
