A suspect package sparked a
bomb scare in Sanremo on the eve of the annual song festival
Monday. It ended when the package was found to contain leaflets
addressed to the editor of a local online daily.
The cardboard box was left in a flower-bed outside the
Palafiori, the site of collateral events, about 200 metres from
the Ariston theatre where the fest takes place.
The annual extravaganza, one of the top-rating TV shows in
Italy, runs February 7-11 in the Ligurian Riviera resort.
