"In general, the very serious problem there is at this time in our country is that whoever manages the show and culture industry has practically no knowledge of how this trade is done."GRAVINE:2. “One goes to the theatre so as not to think about things that happen outside. That is why my activity will reopen only when the pandemic is eradicated ”.ZAGARI:3. “This cinema is under a church, we have been closed while the church has been open all this time. It has been very sad to see the church full of people, where there is a priest and some people sitting, and the cinema has been closed and it is the same ”.CIRULLI:4. “It clearly punishes those who do not have outdoor space, if one has the terrace outside, at least. We don't have a large terrace, but we are lucky ”.
