To hold or not the Bruce Springsteen concert? This is the question being asked in Monza, where the Boss is expected this evening to perform at the Prato della Gerascia of the Autodromo Nazionale. A concert that is now at risk due to the violent storm that hit the whole of Lombardy in the last few hours. “I tell things as they are: it is a contradictory choice, in whatever way I decide – the mayor of Monza, Paolo Pilotto tells AdnKronos -. The most responsible decision is to hold the concert, if I have to take responsibility it is this, perhaps, since I have less experience on public order than the prefect and the questore … in any case, a decision will be made within an hour”.
“Right now I’m faced with a question – explains the mayor – if I stop the concert for two days I have to manage 50,000 people in terms of public order and safety… if I hold the concert, someone will tell me how it happened to the mayor of Ferrara that I’m heartless for the environment and that I don’t realize that the city needs” help. “I – continues Pilotto – realize it, I have been among the citizens for three days and three nights to manage the issue. Now I have to balance the issue of public order and security and the issue of convergence of forces. Therefore, I am evaluating the request for reinforcements of civil protection personnel to help me in the city to speed up the operations that are now being managed by 15 green management teams plus firefighters and others”.
The mayor will shortly hold a meeting with the general secretary, then he will meet again with the quaestor and prefect of Monza. “In the park where the concert is to be held yesterday and the day before yesterday, 45 forestry workers worked today to carry out the cleaning operations – underlines Pilotto -. Yesterday at 2 pm the park was in order, with the trees made safe, all the cleaning and rearranging operations completed. All the itineraries that spectators should do had been cleaned but with last night’s rain there is obviously a finishing job to be done”. Meanwhile Barley Arts, the organizer of the event, ensures that tonight’s show is currently confirmed.
