From the Italian Society of Authors and Publishers a petition that collects the many voices of culture, entertainment and politics that urge the Government to increase the capacity of theaters, cinemas, spaces dedicated to live music.
“We have always respected the rules and laws and put the health of citizens before everything else. Now, however, we are really exhausted”, says SIAE President Giulio Rapetti Mogol.

“Restaurants, bars and many other activities have resumed almost at full capacity. About 70% of citizens have completed the vaccination cycle and the green pass is another important safeguard for health protection; many artists have sided in favor of the vaccination campaign . Moreover, many discos and clubs – continues Mogol – are ending up in the hands of the organized crime, with the obvious possibility of thus becoming potential garrisons of crime and dealing. In other large European countries, cultural activities are resumed at full capacity or almost. This is why we make an appeal to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Culture who have been fighting for reopening for some time “.
“Let us leave safely but let us really leave. We have the feeling – continues Mogol – that minority attitudes and positions prevail or risk prevailing in the Government that frankly seem more unreasonably emotional than really rational. We do not want to get sick but the risk of dying HEALTHY is now. very real “.
“The culture industry, before the pandemic, was the third largest in the country and employed a total of more than 1.5 million people, 40% of whom were under 35. As SIAE, we are launching this petition because we know well the economic value and of cultural activities, and for us too it has become impossible to maintain faith in our mission, that of always being on the side of those who create. , all those who produce culture, entertainment and entertainment in our country. As the famous musician and composer Jean-Michel Jarre, former President of the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers wrote, culture makes us resilient and gives us hope. It reminds us that we are not alone “, says SIAE General Manager Gaetano Blandini.

Sileri: time is ripe for the increase in capacity in events – “The time is ripe for an increase in capacity at events. But it will have to be done gradually and specifically”. Undersecretary of Health Pierpaolo Sileri told ‘TimeLine’ on SkyTg24, according to whom “next week there will be another meeting of the CTS”. Sileri added: “It is not premature to increase seats in cinemas, to reopen stadiums, to do concerts. It is clear that it must be done gradually because cinema is one thing, theater is another thing and the concert is a ‘one more thing. And on the concert, where the risk may be greater, obviously greater guarantees are needed “.
