I'm Stefano, from Pescara. I had send you two years ago the photos of the Burt's concert in Pescara Jazz.

Now I'll send you some photos about the Forlì concert. I want to tell you about the messy and dirty italian organization of the concert. I hope you can wirte sometihing about this unhappy event on the website.

During the soundcheck and during the concert for us was impossible to do a good photo review for the bacharachonline website. The probem was that the pseudo-security was payed to insult and to beat us in the event we could make some photos of the event. In many years I attend to music festivals in Italy, I never see a situation like this.

The most grotesque thing was the motivation that the organization told to us. They told that THE ARTISTS (Burt and the band) didn't want that people can do pictures of the event. That was a lie. You know better than me that all the artist was always happy to do photos with the fans (the best evidence is the my foto with mr. Pagano) and also, two years ago, I have made several photos of the concert without problems.

I want to tell you one more thing. When I was making some pictures, a hudge and impertinent big guy of the security had blind my shoulder with anger and told to me some bad words.

I have enjoyed very much the music. I was very happy to know the best BB's italian fans. But I was very sad for all the problems we had passed with the messy italian organization. In some moments of the show seems to be in a Jail not in a wonderful (and also public) plaza.

My sholulder still hurts... but despite all... I have do my duty. ^_^

I hope you enjoy the photos.

best regards

Stefano Orlando Puracchio

P.S. The picture with Roberto Pinardi and Me is the best :P
