Divus Nero: an incredible flop. And now an investigation by the region opens

After the controversy over the extremely impactful stage, after the problems regarding authorizations, after the numerous criticisms of the show and after Dagospia’s denunciation of the lack of payments to the artists, there is a new tile falling on the tormented musical Divo Nerone - Opera Rock, which started among many difficulties in Rome on June 1 and is set to run until September 10. In fact, Repubblica, in an article signed by Gabriele Isman, gives news of an investigation that the Lazio Region wanted to open to ask for explanations from Nero Divine Ventures, the producing company, regarding possible irregularities committed during the organization of the show. The region provided 1.5 million euros in funding for the project through its investee Lazio Innova and obviously wants to understand what is happening to the show.

“If a project goes wrong because the invested company does not fulfill its commitments or commits irregularities,” reads a note that Lazio Innova itself released, “Lazio Innova acts contractually to protect the public investment. In the case of Divo Nerone, this hypothesis is being evaluated.” Meanwhile, we also read in Repubblica, the artists continue their protest and do not intend to stage the show again without first receiving their back pay. Even, in recent days, two actors had been removed from the residence where the production had housed them because their rooms were awaiting payment. Divo Nerone in short risks being, as per the title of another article published in Repubblica and again signed by Gabriele Isman, “a flop with public money.”
