There were many protests and appeals, online and on the website of Corriere.it, against the measures that turn off the lights of the world of entertainment and culture, contained in the new Dpcm. But, Franceschini argued, priorities must be put in order. The problem is not the security of the places. reduce the mobility of people, reiterating that when you govern you also have to have the courage to make unpopular decisions. On the hypothesis of a reopening before Christmas, the minister declared it difficult to make predictions. The more drastic the measures, the more possible to slow down the contagion curve. The interventions of the government, of the Regions, of the mayors are not enough. We need people’s behavior: 80 percent of infections occur at home, in the family, in personal relationships. To save productive activities and school, it is necessary to limit contacts with people with whom we do not live.
The minister recalled that, to support the sector, the government It provided more than one billion in interventions, also serving those workers who did not have other support. Now, Franceschini assured Fontana, we must intervene again and we will do so from the decree in the next few hours. a “pause”, then everything will move again.

The call for a change of course also comes from the culture councilors of the main Italian municipalities, who wrote to the government to request a review of the provision. Unita (National Union of Theater and Audiovisual Interpreters) maintains that the closure of cinemas and theaters makes Italy the first European country that does not guarantee its citizens that the culture and entertainment industry continues to produce for them; the 100autori Association speaks instead of sudden death.
