“THIS IS THE WAY TO UNDERMINE THE PIAZZA”

Unfortunately again, this year, the Carnival was an occasion on which to downgrade the image of Saint Mark’s Square. It was a country festival, with a horrible backdrop, banal music and intrusive advertising. Is that what the city wants? NO. IT DOESN’T. The President of the Associazione of Piazza San Marco is against this once again. (from IL GAZZETTINO of Feb. 21, 2012)
