It just doesn’t fit Jovanotti to collect the criticisms that for days have persecuted him for his own Jova Beach Party, indispensable events for fans, as absurd for environmentalists. The last to beat Lorenzo Cherubini was the professor Mario Tozzigeologist and scientific popularizer, who in an open letter addressed to the singer and published on 9 August on The printargued that “concerts with 50,000 people are not sustainable by any natural system“. Jovanotti’s response arrived today, August 10, in a post on Facebook, which starts from that “reckless” name «Eco-Nazis»With which the artist had initially defined the most avid environmentalists against his concerts on the beach.

It goes down even harder in the long public outburst and calls them «dangerous mythos who violently polarize the great question of ecology within small personal brands that are not accredited except by themselves and by the likes they have remedied nonsense». Then, addressing Professor Tozzi directly, he continues: «I have been following your work as a scientist and popularizer for a long time and I remember when you defended our beach parties in 2019, so I don’t understand what has changed in the meantime. As in 2019, everything was done well in collaboration with WWF (I have no specific skills, they do), even better. We have all the permits of the competent local, regional and national authorities “, explained Jovanotti, who on Friday 12 and Saturday 13 August is expected to Roccella Jonica for the next big concert on the beach.
The one done in preparation for each Jova Beach Party, the singer recalls, was «a long monitoring and research work by the national WWF, who coordinated a team of technicians and experts, probed every square meter and evaluated all the issues so that everything always took place in areas without ecological criticality of any kind. I really, from what I have been able to verify and trusting experienced people who support us in this adventure, I have nothing to regret », said Lorenzo Cherubini. «The beaches where we play are popular places always full of people […]we never go, not even once, to places where there is the possibility of nesting of the fratino or the presence of caretta caretta or other protected animal or plant species ».
Indeed, he added, “the beach of Lido di Fermo is no longer” natural “than Hyde Park or the San Siro lawn”. For this reason, she concluded, “making JBP an ecological target is simply absurd. This “Holy Inquisition” gloom that someone wants to instill in the environmental theme using JBPs is especially counterproductive for the environment ». Without neglecting the invitation to Professor Tozzi to personally verify the validity of his statements: “You are serious, you are someone who knows things and also knows how to communicate them – Jovanotti said -: I invite you to see for yourself what we do, wherever you want, I also offer you fresh fruit in compostable containers, or a beer at sunset if you want ».
