The clash between conductor Beatrice Venezi and Maria Rosaria Boccia is not abating. What is actually returning today is once again her attack, strictly via social networks. The clash began when Boccia overshadowed the alleged conflicts of interest of the advisors of the former Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, by explicitly mentioning Venezi. The latter, recently appointed to conduct the G7 Culture concert in Pompeii scheduled for September 20, had then responded with a complaint for defamation and a contemptuous dig at Boccia: “Resign yourself, I am not at his level, and I never will be either. be.” After a few days of apparent calm, Maria Rosaria Boccia returns to the helm, using her stories and a post on Instagram to share a series of elements supporting her accusations: she published some screenshots to demonstrate her statements, in reference to the Venezi case. position of advisor to the Minister of Culture for music, with a salary of 30 thousand euros from November 11, 2022. “To date, there is no consultation in the documents,” she wrote, attaching the link to the ministry's website.
The G7 concert
In an Instagram post, Boccia also commented on the news of September 12 reported by Ansa, which confirmed Venezi's participation as conductor in the G7 concert. According to Boccia, initially compensation for Venezi was paid by the ministry, but later the sum was allegedly managed directly by the orchestra, whose compensation has since increased. Boccia pointed out this situation, insinuating that there were irregularities or unclear changes in the financial management of the event.
The controversy over the presentation of the book
But that's not all. Boccia published the poster for an event that included the presentation of Venezi's book, “Puccini against everyone,” scheduled for September 19 in Pompeii. According to Boccia, the event was canceled only after Sangiuliano intervened, reminding Venezi that as a guest of the ministry he could not receive compensation. This accusation angered the conductor: “I have never received a cent for the presentation of my books. I have always done them for free,” Venezi claims on Instagram, denouncing the superficiality of those who spread information without any basis that “debases the work of those who practice this profession with dedication and love of the truth.”
The final slot
However, Boccia clearly has a bad bone to pick with Venezi, most recently also for his disdainful comment about the entrepreneur-influencer. Thus, the social roundup ends with the final attack on the conductor: “She is absolutely right. I am not at her level!” Then a venomous quote from Fabrizio Caramagna: “Honesty looks you straight in the eye. Dishonesty looks directly into your pocket.”
