(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 5 - This week's Sanremo Song Festival would welcome protesting farmers if they drive their tractors to the Ligurian resort's annual TV jamboree as they have vowed, host and organiser Amadeus told a press conference Monday.
    Italian farmers, like their European counterparts, have taken their tractors to roads across the country protesting national and EU policies including a one-year fallow order to mitigate climate change as well as plunging prices for their products and rising costs of fuel and raw materials.
    "If they come I'll let them come on stage," said Amadeus in the pre-festival press conference.
    "I find the protest of the tractors absolutely right, sacrosanct, for the right to work and to protect their jobs.
    "But no one has contacted me and I have not contacted anyone".
