The impressive organizational machine of the Bruce Springsteen concert continues unabated, expected today in Ferrara , at the Giorgio Bassani Urban Park, for the first of three Italian dates, sold out for months, which is preparing to mobilize 50 thousand people .

The wave of bad weather that brought a large area of Emilia-Romagna to its knees spared the area, and so did the organizers - despite being aware of the seriousness of the situation in the region and of the problems with the road network and with the utmost respect for those affected - have decided to confirm the event . Even in the midst of controversy. In fact, there are many fans who write on social media in these hours to understand if it is prudent to travel to reach the area .

»I love #brucespringsteen but in front of the dead and towns submerged in mud, the concert in Ferrara is out of place. Once we went to shovel and help those submerged in mud, not to sing and dance carefree in the same area," Tiziana Ferrario writes on Twitter. Holding the concert «is absurd, embarrassing. I understand a lot of reasons but the decision to confirm it is wrong», is the reflection of another user.

"We are perfectly aware of the uncomfortable situation, but everything we are doing, we are doing in maximum safety and with maximum respect for everyone's needs ," said Claudio Trotta, manager of Barley Arts and historic Springsteen promoter . «For fifteen days we were under constant rain, 500-600 millimeters of rain fell compared to an average of 55 millimeters in this area in the month of May. Thanks to an extraordinary team, to the commitment of the workers, we are in an optimal situation from the point of view of the production of the show and the setting up of the arena. When we open the doors, we will be sure that everything will go smoothly ».

Compared to the emergency of these days «we are perfectly aware of the drama of the flooded areas. But ». Furthermore, "the civil protection units of Ferrara are engaged in the affected areas, they transported materials to Cesenatico and Forlì and so the firefighters also worked in the flooded areas: I want to clarify this - he underlines - to deny those who accuse us of using resources public, which is totally false.
