Quotes
I never made politics. Unless you consider culture as politics: I think we must sustain modernity. And, simply, I tried to open the doors of the theaters to anyone, not only in Milan. We cut the prices for the students, then I conducted La Scala Orchestra in the factories. And in Reggio Emilia, at the "Musica e Realtà" festival, we arranged meeting opened to anyone during the performance. There was people that not only, never listened to the music of Luigi Nono before, but neither the music of Beethoven.
