Many people in Piazza Duomo and the surrounding streets had never seen each other at a music concert. And if the Negramaros recorded dizzying numbers last December, last night’s Tezenis Summer Festival exceeded all expectations with almost 25,000 people taking turns in the square and crowding the adjacent streets as the evening progressed. An incredible success for an event that has attracted some of the most popular artists to the shores of the strait, especially among the little ones. An image success also for Messina with extraordinary images, which were projected onto the screens of the Italians thanks to the nationwide live transmission on channel 66 (Radio 105). Summer air and the desire to dance, to the sound of catchphrases and great music in the most beautiful squares in Italy for the itinerant event promoted by Radio 105 and Friends&Partners, which is taking place for the eighth time.

A Messina at the peak of its warmth, vital and with a great desire to sing and have fun. Since the early afternoon, many young people have earned their place in the front rows for direct contact with their loved ones.

A resounding success, also in terms of organization and public order, which is rarely put to the test given the incredible number of people from Messina and beyond who flock to a place that is not entirely easy to manage. Instead, everything went very well, with minimal inconveniences and setbacks and the synergy between the institutions (Police Headquarters and Municipality) that made this show possible for the city of Messina.
