Vasco Rossi, turnover of 20 million in Palermo

Everything that revolved around Vasco slowly falls silent, returns to its place, disappears. This is how the dismantling of Vasco Rossi’s stage continues. As a temple of music, Renzo Barbera is slowly returning to its original form and is ready to host games in Palermo again. The second day of work is hectic (never as hectic as that which marked the assembly phase) and the lawn begins to be freed from the protective platforms. For now, while we wait to understand the conditions, the memories of the two dates and the awareness of the potential of the plant in Viale del Fante remain, albeit subject to necessary restoration work. And the related industries that the big event brought to the city: “We have had an economic impact on the city, estimated at over 20 million euros, of which at least 100,000 euros tourist tax for hotel occupations alone,” comments Carmelo Costa for Musica da Bere organized the two concerts in cooperation with Live Nation and the production of the national tour. In the next few days we will publish the survey data we asked at Federalberghi and Ascom.” And he adds: “The way is through cost optimization and bureaucracy reduction, not the other way around.” The note refers to the problems that arise: “Everyone There is no such thing as perfect organization for large events.” I would like to bring an international artist here, but after this experience many aspects need to be redefined for the future.” Aspects that may not have been discussed, but are discussed privately with the city administration. Meanwhile, Costa is enjoying the moment and the city’s reaction to the demonstration: “On social media, we were inundated with many messages of thanks and many compliments.” Of the 74,000 people, about 20,000 were Palermitans. And they made themselves heard in the stadium. But among the Palermitans – he continues – I would like to thank the many workers who worked for almost two weeks on the event with commendable enthusiasm: some had never seen such a performance. We are friends with so many people. And in ten days it will be Checco Zalone’s turn, also under the name Musica da Bere: “Back to the city with Zalone’s two shows at the Teatro di Verdura – he recalls – certainly different genre, setting and audience, but no less important. “
