Pop star Jovanotti on Monday
pledged that a gig he is set to give at Plan de Corones, in the
Alto Adige mountains, in August will respect the environment.
He was commenting after world famous climber Reinhold
Messner, the first person to make a solo ascent of Mount
Everest, called on him to cancel the concert and respect the
silence of the mountain.
"I won't argue with Messner about the mountain, I'd never
dare to," Jovanotti said on his Facebook page.
"But I have something to say about concerts and our project
for the summer is serious and, above all, new, created carefully
with environmental criteria that are not only possible today,
they are also important to show to the public, above all, an
audience like mine that is sensitive to issues of the day.
"When I say that we are holding a rock event with
environmental balance, it's not just talk".
