Dispute over the Italian night: bands cancel appear!

Dispute over the Italian night: bands cancel appear!

Schwäbisch Gmünd, Deutschland - The anticipation for the Italian night in Schwäbisch Gmünd, known for your Mediterranean flair and delicious delights, is under an unfavorable star. This year the event is scheduled to take place on the lower market square on July 19 from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., but it is bubbling tremendously behind the scenes. The reason for this is a conflict between the bands "Due Piu Due" and "Amici", which has already led to serious consequences.

After a dispute, “Due Piu Due” canceled her appearance and will not appear as planned, while “Amici” will take over the stage alone. This situation is particularly explosive, since "Due Piu Due" has been a fixture in the event series for 14 years and has been initiated by the Orlando family. This is threatened by the cancellation of its band in their tradition and immediately started an online petition that is aimed at Sridevan Sriskandarajah to protect the original form of the Italian night. By July 8th, 123 supporters could already be won, who are strongly promoted to maintain tradition, according to Gmunder Tagespost .

The dispute over the appearances

The argument between the two bands shows how important the space in the program design is. For example, Isa ün from "Amici" confirmed that a proposal for alternating appearances was rejected, which further escalated the situation. Maurizio Orlando of "Due Piu Due" described the whole thing as "kindergarten". "The event cannot be carried out in this way," he said, announcing the appearance of his band. Sriskandarajah, who took over the event after Touristik und Marketing GmbH had to cancel on the basis of savings constraints, wanted to pay both bands, but had to plan the event with only "Amici".

On July 19, visitors can expect a varied program. In addition to the musical performances of "Amici", DJ Vinblack will put on the turntables and spoil the guests with Italian delicacies. It remains to be seen whether the Italian night, which has been attracting thousands of people since 2010, can still give usual pleasure or whether the worries about finance and the security of the event outweigh. After the city administration faces financial bottlenecks - among other things through higher security requirements and rising personnel costs - solutions are required. Robust safety requirements such as inlet controls and professional security services have to be implemented, which causes additional costs, so Nad Rhein-Neckar .

A look into the future

The situation leaves questions about the future of the event. Discussions about alternative financing models such as crowdfunding or staggered ticket prices are already being held. Critical voices also require a fairer distribution of urban funds and barrier -free solutions. A rethink seems necessary to continue to preserve the Italian night as a loved one. Perhaps the city administration, with sponsors and new ideas, manages not only to save the event, but also to make even more attractive in the future.

The preparations continue. On July 15, a foretaste of the Italian way of life is expected, while the city and the organizers do everything they can to make the Italian night an unforgettable experience. And maybe 2026 is the opportunity for "Due Piu Due" to return brilliantly, as the Orlando family hopes.

For all fans of Mediterranean music and dishes it means: keeping your eyes open! Summer in Schwäbisch Gmünd promises to be exciting.
