Demonstrations by show business workers in many squares in Italy to ask for the reopening of cinemas, theaters and entertainment venues.

The Italian anthem to ask to return to work.

Thus the show workers adhering to Fistel Cisl and Uilcom Uil under the prefecture of

Genoa

have asked for the reopening of theaters and concert halls.

The musicians present, all from the Carlo Felice Theater, some of them precarious, performed the Hymn by Mameli.

A delegation was received in the prefecture.

"This is the second time we have demonstrated and we have not achieved anything. There will not be a third: next time we will occupy the highway with our trucks".

This is the provocation of katiuscia Medina, famous artist of the Circo Medina, at the event of the entertainment world in front of the Piedmont Region, in the center of

Turin

.

"People, locked in their homes for a year, want to go back to the circus and theaters, that's enough now - he adds -. If the Region and the government do not listen to us, we will have to make them understand that this cannot continue".

A few hundred activists and workers from the entertainment world in

Naples

occupied via Cristoforo Colombo in front of Molo Beverello, a stone's throw from the Mercadante theater where the sector event was taking place one year after the theaters closed.

Workers briefly stopped all vehicular traffic from Acton Street by occupying the street with a large banner reading "Work is not a favor".

Some of them have lit red smoke bombs.

Entertainment workers, with Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl and Uilcom Uil, took to the streets in

Florence

to denounce the state of crisis in the sector, due to the continuing health emergency, and their difficult working and personal conditions, asking to organize reopenings.

The garrison in via Cavour under the prefecture also saw the live performance of Emanuele Urso, first horn of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, and of the singer-songwriter Chiara Riondino.

Some trade unionists, at the end of the initiative, were received in the prefecture where they brought requests to the government to save the sector and the workers.

"At the same time as the support action and the strengthening of safeguards - say the unions - we believe it is a need that can no longer be postponed to organize the procedures for reopening the cinemas".

Furthermore, according to Slc Cgil, Fistel Cisl, Uilcom Uil, "the pandemic has dramatically exposed the limits of the system that orders the offer and use of live entertainment. An organic reform of the sector can no longer be postponed, even if we take the opportunity offered by the Next generation, which provides, in addition to adequate social safety nets, the right recognition for skills and a rethinking of the social security system, an enhancement of structural investments in professionalism, training, places and methods of cultural offer that, without being distorted, take the appropriate opportunities of new technologies ".

In the province of

Perugia

, in the red band for the rules against the spread of Covid, the national mobilization day of the sector organized by Slc Cgil entitled "Let's go back to show business", was held online, with the workers in the sector who 12, given the impossibility of physically taking to the streets, they started posting signs, images and statements to shed light on this difficult situation in Umbria too.

Refreshments, protocols for a safe reopening, renewal of national collective agreements expired for years and organic reform of the sector: representatives of Slc Cgil Umbria and Adu (Actresses actors dancers united dancers) Umbria through an on-line meeting with the press illustrated the their proposals as well as taking stock of the regional situation and renewing the request for rapid activation of the table promised by the Umbria Region.

These are the issues put in the spotlight by Enrico Bruschi, general secretary of the Slc CGIL Umbria: "There is a need to reopen the places of culture and to support the sector with resources".

A sector which, as Bruschi recalled, is also "very diversified".

The reopening is however "the first step to take" also for Emanuela Faraglia, actress and head of cultural production at Slc Umbria.

In Umbria, actor Alessandro Sesti pointed out for Adu Umbria, there is a fertile ground with many theatrical realities including research, "a precious asset to be protected", he said.
