“I’m not against, in principle, organizing large mass concerts, even in places like the Circus Maximus.” From the undersecretary to the Ministry of Culture, Vittorio Sgarbi, interviewed by time.news, comes a sort of ‘pass’ but ‘conditional’, after last night’s concert in Rome by rapper Travis Scott – amidst the earthquake effect, the pepper spray sprayed by a vandal who caused about fifty intoxicated people and an injured boy in an attempt to elude the controls at the entrance to the area – he re-proposed the issue of permits for locations such as the Circus Maximus obviously not born to host large rock, pop or rap concerts .
In fact, Sgarbi explains, commenting on what happened last night: “We need to demand and have certainties about the ways in which these concerts are organised, starting with the guarantees on safety for the site and for the spectators. I’m not for repression, but for regularization, with an expert commission that evaluates the plans presented in advance and is then responsible for its decisions.And, in the event of omissions on the part of the organizers, that very high fines are foreseen.In summary, yes to the concerts but with preventive plans, strict controls on safety and adequate sanctions for those who do not respect the established rules”.
