A Pharaonic 'white night' for more "red" of the Italian government. Over six million euro, more than any other big event organized in the country for only three days of play festival in Puglia. This is money allocated by the European Union Region led by Nichi Vendola through funds Por. Money, lots of money, intended to revive tourism, but that will disappear within three days, in fact, between 5 and 7 December. In one, a gigantic event. Exaggeration unprecedented, so that even the CGIL calls "despicable" Regione.Previsti the choice of shows and events of all kinds, as in many other cities. Only if you compare with other major events around the country, does not add up. Why, for example, for the first, pyrotechnics, built by the Roman Notte Bianca Walter Veltroni, the money was spent than three million euro. Less than half of that "vendoliana ', but still too much compared to that of Milan in 2004, for which the City Council has pulled out of only EUR 175 thousand (the rest came from other sources, sponsors, etc.). That Puglia, renamed" Night Parade, "seems destined to go down to posterity as the most expensive in history. Most expensive of the Carnival of Venice, which costs 1 million and 100 thousand euro, more expensive Umbria Jazz, for which you do not spend more than three and a half million compared with a duration of three days is not but fifteen. Only cheaper dell'irraggiungibile 'Film Festival' in Rome, but this year with Alemanno had a reduction of the budget rising from 17.6 million to 15.5. The full amount that Puglia has room for the night Bianca will be managed by public Pugliese Theatre, which received the burden and honor without having to overcome the difficulties of a public announcement. Nearly three million euro has been used to pay the artists, to 180 thousand Baglioni and Venditti, while the only Cirque du Soleil (Lecce) will be spent € 800 thousand. In addition, apart the € 400 thousand for the shows in common 'minor', € 1 million will be used for "manufacturing services and rents', € 180 thousand for" logistics and transfers', € 240 thousand for the SIAE, 540mila 'for the general coordination "96 thousand" expenses of organizational management, "the insurance 18 thousand and 600 thousand euro for the advertising. The President of the Public Theater, Caramel fats, does not deny the enormity of the total expenditure, but the justification: "Of course, the costs are very high but they will be documented (...). You may disagree, but we must check if it was possible to use those funds in a different way. " Not to be strongly disagree is precisely the CGIL, "The union protest at the handling of this matter which is shameful - explains Antonio Fuiano, regional coordinator of the SLC-CGIL -, we were neither involved nor informed and there is no possibility control costs. " The criticisms of the union are targeting another front: "Only 20 percent of resources will be used to benefit companies in the region, while the rest of the money will end up outside. And then, in a time when the South is a battle to qualify for government spending, so we would like to use public money? The figures seem excessive frankly, even in the face of the danger that the money go lost. There are some who wonder why organize another Notte Bianca in the middle of winter and why do not we have focused on private investments, as has happened elsewhere in similar occasion. Massimo Ostillio, Department of Tourism, has no second thoughts instead: "A study in our possession show that for every euro spent by the region, it will return the territory 22. The figure is high, true, but should be considered a maximum figure. "
