(ANSA) – ROME, SEPTEMBER 10 – “Maestro Venezi has never incurred any conflict of interest: clarity, transparency and honesty represent fundamental values for Beatrice Venezi”. This is what the lawyers of the orchestra conductor underline, in response to the statements made by Maria Rosaria Boccia on In Onda on La 7, “a program pre-recorded and broadcast on September 6”. A reply reported to “Boccia, to the La7 broadcaster, as well as to the newspaper La Repubblica for the article published on September 8, 2024 entitled ‘Friends, relatives, associates the former minister’s latest blitz. And the Venezi case emerges at the G7’ also reported by Dagospia”. “As is known – reads the note signed by Venezi’s lawyers – the role of advisor to the minister is a mere technical consultancy assignment which, on the one hand, does not entail any power to adopt decisions or acts of direction, nor, on the other, prevents a freelancer from continuing to carry out his main activity. Furthermore, contrary to what was inaccurately and instrumentally asserted by Ms. Boccia, Maestro Venezi does not ‘direct’ any theater or entity that is a beneficiary of public funds”. “Given the above – it is further explained – Maestro Venezi has never participated in any type of meeting concerning the events scheduled for the G7 Culture nor has he had any contractual relationship with the ministry in relation to this or any other concert event during the two-year period in which he has held the role of advisor. To date – concludes the note – Maestro Venezi has received a proposal formulated directly by the musical entity in question, as has happened on other occasions, in accordance with the rules of engagement for orchestra conductors”.
