an incredible story the one reported by Aurora Leone and Ciro Priello, faces of The Jackal. The two had been called up to participate in the Match of the heart scheduled for Tuesday 25 May (broadcast for the first time on Canale 5) at the Allianz Stadium in Turin. They will not be present for, after the actress was dismissed by the organizers because she is a woman. They kicked us out, prevented us from entering the hotel, they told on social media. Both had to be part of the team of Champions for Research, led by Andrea Agnelli, ready to challenge the National Singers, for a good cause: to support the Candiolo Institute – Piedmontese Foundation for cancer research. But during the dinner before the meeting the incredible happened. To tell it, the two The Jackal directly on their social profiles: Ciro and I sat at the table with the National Singers – explained Leone – but the general manager Gianluca Pecchini said we could not sit there. Or rather, that Aurora could not, Priello specified. And again: We thought: he is telling us because we are from the opposing team. We try to get up but we are told that Ciro could stay and I couldn’t, because I was a woman. “You are a woman, you cannot sit here”. At that point the actress pointed out that she had been called up as a player of the match: Look, I’m not Ciro’s companion, I was called up like him. The answer was: Don’t make me explain why you can’t sit here, just get up.

You stay in the stands
Not over. The story continues with Pecchini who says: Vabb but you don’t play. At that point, the actress reiterated that she had a printed notice. They asked me about the sizes of the outfit. But I heard myself say: “Eh, you will put the outfit in the stands. Since when do women play? ”. At that point we got angry and they kicked us out of the hotel. The singers who were with us, including Eros Ramazzotti, apologized for what happened … which is absurd … I had a call-up, my presence there was on a par with that of Ciro as of the others singers. The research president apologized and I don’t want all of this to cloud the good cause of the project. That said, the two have obviously withdrawn: We will not participate in the Match of the Heart. Incredible things have happened – said Ciro, visibly upset on social media -. Aurora was the victim of a real violence, a violence against her as a woman who could not stay at the players’ table even though she too was a player called to participate in the Match of the Heart scheduled for tomorrow. In one last story, Leone showed the mask they had given to the participants of the evening. It reads: Stop violence against women.

Solidariet sui social
Many on social media have expressed their support for Aurora. Like Fedez, who wrote on Instagram: Disconcerting that a charity event turns into the saga of machismo. Honestly, the silence of the participants in the initiative who witnessed the scene is particularly striking. @ciropriello let’s organize a beneficial basketball match, whenever you want. Even the national singers express disappointment: Alessandra Amoroso, Madame, Jessica Notaro, Gianna Nannini, Loredana Bert, Rita Levi di Montalcini, are just some of the names of the many women who since 1985 (the year in which we played at San Siro, for the first time time, against a female team) participated and supported our projects. Our staff is almost entirely made up of women, as this year the hosts and the referee of the “Match of the Heart” are women. The Italian National Singers has never discriminated against sex, fame, musical genre, skin color, type of success and followers. There is only one thing in which the Italian Singers National Team has never compromised: we cannot accept ARROGANCE, THREATS, MALEDUCATION AND VERBAL VIOLENCE FROM OUR GUESTS.
