Carnival Ivrea, Ceratti only half convinces: “The emergency is still there”

Maria Piras, of the mixed group, adds that everyone in the Municipality is willing to organize the 2022 edition. “However, there are still too many unknowns and the definitive way will come, if it does, from the Prefecture – he explains -. Certainly if there is, we should all be willing to accept limits, more than those imposed by the post-accident directives of Piazza San Carlo. But before that we have to get to the board and appoint a president. We must in fact be ready if the green light comes to the organization ».

Toni Cuomo, group leader of Cambiamo Insieme, says he is skeptical about the existence of favorable conditions for Carnival. “If things remain this way, the pandemic emergency will end next December 31 and not before – he comments -. To hazard a guess is very difficult. I hope for an open dialogue with the city and with the members to understand if there is a desire for a reduced edition. But before any other hypothesis it is necessary to have the organizational machine of the Foundation available and certainly the stop of the candidate chosen by the mayor is not positive. Times are tight”.

Donato Malpede, on the Together for Ivrea Ballurio list, only partially embraces Vincenzo Ceratti’s appeal. “He is right when he says that you have to be ready and that you have to try to the end before canceling the Carnival of 2022 – explains Malpede – and I add that no more days can pass for the appointment of the Foundation’s board of directors. Having said that, however, the time is short to study an edition that protects public health and at the same time does not see our traditions and the components of the event trampled on. It is difficult today to find someone who takes the responsibility of telling the walking teams to buy tons of oranges “
