    Dear Lorenzo,

    Could you let us know what exactly was your problem with the festival, of course we do things like a business, because we are a business. We have dozens of people that rely on us at the end of the month.

    Next time if you have a problem, don’t be afraid to contact us personally by email or on social media, before writing negative feedback for no reason.

    Best wishes,
    PFF
