That’s not enough much criticized concert on Dolomiteas well as those along Italian coast or to Lake Fusine, among others Tarvisian Mountains. Yes, because where Jovanotti decided to play, then a problem arose. This time it happened because of the choice to hold a concert, in 2026, atLa Favorita Hippodrome from Palermo and toAgnano racetrackin Naples. The reason? In this area there are i horse – who would have thought? – who in the best case scenario can suffer stress from loud music and large crowds and who, in the worst case scenario, can wounded. This case was revealed through a long post on Facebook Italian Horse Protectionan association that works to protect the welfare of equality in our country.
The Hippodrome is not a neutral place: it is a residence for horses who cannot move and will inevitably suffer from noise, vibration, light and crowding. Highly sensitive animals are at risk of panic and injury, the president wrote. Sonny Richichi – Imagine thousands of people gathered just a few meters from the hole absurd: horses have excellent hearing and, if confined in a confined space, can experience real trauma”. According to the association’s position, entertainment cannot beat welfare of living creatures already vulnerable. Therefore, Jovanotti and his staff were asked to choose an alternative venue, “where the party does not cause suffering to any animals.”
The most controversial case involving the Cortona-based singer-songwriter is associated with Jova Beach Party. In 2019 Jovanotti chose to tour several Italian beaches and experts and environmentalists (including Mario Tozzi) they underline how he said it Coastal habitats are threatened and native animal species. The most famous case is the case related to brotherwhich nests on the coast of the Adriatic Sea and the central Tyrrhenian Sea. Collecting signatures was also started to stop the mega-event on the beach. In short, the accusation: “The beach is not a discotheque”. However Jovanotti returned to the coast after several years (a Lignano Sabbiadorofor example, or a Fermo Lido). At the Marina di Ravenna he was accused of “cutting 65 meters of tamarisk”.
In the following years, it was the concert’s turn a De Corones Planat an altitude of more than 2,200 meters above sea level. It is true, this area has experienced a lot of anthropization but perhaps – moreover – it should be protected. Apart from associations, we are also involved Hold back Messner: “Concerts should be banned.” The reason, shared by ecologists? “We have received the mountains as a gift and we must accept them learn to respect them for what they represent: a reserve of water and tranquility, a free place where you can dedicate time to the care of the soul”. And finally, in order of time: last summer’s concerts “for cyclists” on Lake Fusine, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Mountain Wilderness: “Give connotation green on these events appear to us as one whole mystificationthere are buildings in urban areas that are more suitable for holding this kind of event”. Now the racetrack. What’s next in the episode?
