Rai state broadcaster on Wednesday
denied protesting farmers' claims that they were in touch with
organisers of the Sanremo Song Festival and would probably
appear there later this week.
The Rai press office "categorically denies having had any kind
of contact with the farmers" who asked for hospitality on the
stage of the Sanremo festival.
Artistic director Amadeus has said he would be happy to host
farmers' reps at the week-long musical jamboree.
A farmers group said earlier Wednesday that they were sending 15
tractor to Sanremo and would likely appear at the Ariston
Theatre on Thursday.
