A concert that "lasted too long" and little attention was paid to the precarious conditions of entertainment workers, despite it being "an event related to work". The trumpeter Paolo Fresu, the day after the May 1st concert in Rome , returns to his social media with a provocation: "I wonder how it can be - writes the artist - that, in an event dedicated to work (because May 1st remains the workers' holiday just as April 25th remains the liberation day) the precarious conditions of entertainment workers were discussed for just under a minute".
" It seems like yesterday that we launched the petition "#velesuoniamo" (62,478 signatures) - continues Fresu - when the Coronavirus knocked on our lives. And it is today that, with the pandemic over, we reflect on the condition of entertainment professionals aware that part of its precarious army has been lost without anything having been done to give our world a civil status on a par with other European countries".
In the post shared on his Facebook page, the musician from Berchidda recalled how " we hoped that the pandemic could serve , among the hundreds of thousands of deaths, at least to prompt a reflection on this theme too , but this was weak and fleeting and, above all, did not produce any results other than some undignified tips. So we tried to play them to others. Yesterday, sadly, at the Concertone they sang and played them by themselves. It is no longer a mass death, it is a massacre".
