Four orchestral teachers play on the Fenice stage, in front of a completely empty audience, to say that music and Venice do not stop. Not even in front of the coronavirus. To 'get around' the closing to the public of the most beautiful theater in the world, which made the thousand-seat hall unusable, the concert of the string group Dafne last night was staged only for the audience of the 'network', thanks to streaming on the Youtube channel. The people of the web liked the courageous initiative, raining positive comments on the air. Today it will be repeated, for an event dedicated to the memory of Virgilio Boccardi. "We don't want to stop the notes ringing" confirms the superintendent Fortunato Ortombina. The city, brought to its knees by tourist cancellations, which in many hotels have reduced attendance to 10-20%, is not going to be crushed by the weight of Covid-19. While gearing up to face a new high water peak, the mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, promises battle before the representatives of the economic categories.
