The concert by Jovanotti, planned for August 17 in Barletta, is at risk of cancellation. This follows the results of samples taken by Arpa Puglia in the area of the former paper mill, which indicated a risk associated with the presence of asbestos.

The concert organizers are considering the possibility of moving the event to Bari, scheduling a new date for September 19. This decision is still under evaluation, and an official communication is expected next week.
