During the press conference for the presentation of RomaPride 2023, Paola and Chiara, the godmothers of the event, commented on the words of their colleague Arisa, who had said in recent days that she appreciated Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, defining her attitude towards the Lgbtq+ community as the by a “strict and frightened mother”. After this intervention, a controversy arose, which led to the singer deciding to abandon the event. Paola Iezzi intervened in this matter: “I don’t feel like blaming Rosalba for what she did.” Artists often live in fear of not working. Not all of us are protected in the same way. Not all of us have the same confidence in expressing ourselves. I clearly disagree with what he said. Obviously there are more important issues than, say, Arisa’s unfortunate departure. I think that in your life you have experienced the feeling of being discriminated against. And that leaves trauma that creates great fears.” And again: “I’m not saying let them all happen, but wait before thinking tirelessly about things that lead far away… Maybe we’ll talk about it for three days Arisa’s exit, who made a damn exit, excuse me, unhappy, and then “we’re not talking about the important aspects of this event.”
