VIDEO| Party at the Isola delle Femmine, the DJ:“No party, we were shooting a video”

Illegal party or set for a promotional video?What is certain is that around 80 identified participants are in trouble for the dancing party at the Isola delle Femmine nature reserve

ROME – A nature reserve, a paradise for numerous bird species, which choose it as a place for nesting, transformed into the location for an "illegal" dancing birthday party or the set of a "promotional" video authorized by the property.The result, however, is that the day after the "party" on the islet of the small Sicilian town of "Isola delle Femmine", interrupted by the landing of patrol boats from the Coast Guard and the Financial Police - which was also joined by a dozen patrols between Carabinieri and police - the situation was that of "a carpet of cigarette butts, plastic cups, plastic and glass bottles and wood stacked to make a bonfire”.

This is demonstrated by the words released to the media by Vincenzo Di Dio, director of the Sicilian nature reserve managed by Lipu, Italian Bird Protection League, which speaks of a real "massacre".And in fact it was the animal rights association that took action to request the intervention of the police.The party participants - around eighty people - have been identified and their positions are being assessed.Yes they were move from a club on the coast to the islet to proceed to the sound of music and dancing, in a place where they are absolutely not allowed.And ironically, as the videos of last Saturday's party, which have now gone viral, showed, one of the participants was holding up a sign with the words “Save the planet”.

THE DJ:“IT WAS NOT A PARTY, WE WERE SHOOTING A VIDEO ON THE BEAUTY OF THE ISLAND”

Today the DJ from Palermo is speaking Maurizio Giglio, known as "Mauriziotto" to clarify how, among the participants, there was no desire to cause damage to the environment and the guests of the islet.Not only that:“It wasn't a party, but a video clip to be made on the islet of Isola delle Femmine commissioned by the twin brothers, both doctors, Vito and Antonio Triolo.They had authorization from the owner of the islet the Marchesa Paola Pilo Bacci For create the video to enhance the beauty of the island“, which has been on sale for some time. Lily, moreover, for years he was an employee of the coast guard and also responsible for the maritime office of Isola delle Femmine, even though he is now retired.“I am not the organizer of the event on the island - he points out - I only agreed to act as a DJ for the video clip”.And again, he points out that he has read the owner's authorization and "I was assured - he assures - that both the Port Authority and the managing body for the creation of the video clip had been notified", he adds."I was a soldier from the captain's office, I would never have participated in a party on the island - he assures - It would have been serious".

Yet something must not have gone as expected.And now  we investigate to understand how it was possible for a small protected paradise has been transformed into one open air disco, despite the ban even on guided tours until June 30th.
