Alessandro Cattelan responded to the controversy over the cover of Montagne verdi in a press conference with a parody of what happened in Roccaraso.
"The mistake you make is to confuse the subject with the object of the joke. I would do it again because that's what we do on the show, we change the lyrics of the songs that are at the festival or have been there. That evening, Marcella Bella was a guest and we took her most famous song, but the criticism was not about Roccaraso and the Neapolitans but about what social media can generate, even in a bad way.
I have a great relationship with Naples and I will return soon. I have a splendid relationship with Naples. I am always very happy to go, when I go I am always pampered by the people, and I never miss an opportunity to speak well of it.
Ricky Gervais says that people often confuse the object with the target,” said Alessandro Cattelan . “The object was social media, not Naples.”
