Tchaikovsky at the Festival. In the “Letters from Sanremo” no love, too many tourists and “unbearable” olive trees

But he doesn’t like anything! The tourists are too English, the hotels too expensive and above all the olive trees too many. Other than Baedeker. These Letters from Sanremo by Tchaikovsky, published by Zecchini and very well edited by Marina Moretti, look like Job’s letters or the daily lamentations of those sent to Sanremo during the Festival, when the city becomes the Italian version of the Barnum circus, even net of the controversy over Zelensky’s two minute two on video.
