Italians miss the Oktoberfest - this is how they remember the Oktoberfest

The Oktoberfest is canceled.

This is difficult to bear not only for Munich residents.

But also for Italians.

Actually, they would have arrived in droves this weekend.

This weekend they would have come over the Brenner again: tens of thousands of Italians, who otherwise delighted Munich with their joie de vivre on the middle Oktoberfest weekend.

But: Again no Oktoberfest this year.

A hard blow for our Italian friends too.

Alessandro de Prospo (29) from Rome, for example, tells tz: “The Oktoberfest is actually always a fixed date for me.

I'm coming with a mobile home and two friends and we spend the whole weekend there.

It doesn't matter that we don't speak German, we shake hands. ”What the bartender misses most is the festive atmosphere.

"This year I will not drink, I will make others drink!"

The entrepreneurial couple Damiana and Marino Pasculli (53, 57) from Rome are also sad not to be able to celebrate in Munich this year.

“We miss the stick fish and the music.

Covid took the fun away from us. "

This is also the case with the Roman Santina Senese (28): “I used to buy a dirndl at the train station and party all day.

I like the Oktoberfest parties, meeting people from other cultures and celebrating together.

It's sad this year, but I'm already saving up for next year.

Oktoberfest, we miss you! ”(Giulia Antonelli)
