Although it may sound like this field recording took place in the middle of a war zone, what you’ll be hearing is people “symbolically” shooting at the old year just passed, on New Year’s Eve, 31st December 2020, in Gela, Sicily. The recording started about 12 minutes earlier than 24:00 and went on for a total of 26 minutes; you can clearly hear the escalation of gunshots, firecrackers and fireworks in the whole neighborhood, as midnight approaches.
