The seven tractors that arrived in Sanremo at dawn, coming from Melegnano, stopped near the flower market, and left escorted by the police towards the center.
"Four of our kids should be able to go on stage at the Ariston", said one of the spokespersons for 'Riscatto agricultural', speaking of the possibility that a group of young farmers, who arrived at dawn with tractors from Melegnano to Sanremo, would be invited to speak from the stage of the Sanremo festival.
"A document could also be prepared", he concluded.
Meanwhile, the announcement arrived during the 12pm press conference:
the tractor protest will take place at the Festival on Friday with a statement read by Amadeus.

In Sanremo little calf Giulia with the cow Ercolina
From today in Sanremo, a few kilometers away from the Ariston, the 3 and a half month old calf Giulia is keeping the cow Ercolina company.
Giulia "she has already been with us in Piazza del Duomo, in Milan - said the farmer Giacomo Bonetti of San Giuliano Milanese -. We are united in the protest with the farmers and we hope that they will welcome us at the Ariston and let us talk".
But for now they remain distant from the lights of the Sanremo Festival: "they block us immediately, we hope they make us go closer to have greater visibility".
Farmers in procession in Foggia, the 'symbolic' tractors are stopped
The procession of farmers who will walk through the city center has started in Foggia.
The tractors "symbol of the demonstration" are stationary: two vehicles are parked in front of the municipal villa of Foggia while two others are in Piazza Giordano where the procession will end.
Around 200 people are taking part in the event, including farmers, students, citizens and some mayors of the municipalities in the province.
In Piazza Giordano the farmers will explain to the citizens the reasons for the protest that they have been carrying out for days by gathering with tractors.
In particular, farmers contest European policies, believing them to be harmful to the sector.
"We want to raise awareness among the population of the problems of agriculture - underlined one of the farmers present, Edoardo Antonetti - our objective is to inform the population on why it has come to this, keeping in mind that many of our problems can be solved at a national level and above all not with the allocation of further funds".
