Leonardo
It is wonderful to see the fair continue its long history in the capital. However, the traffic congestion during these weeks makes daily commuting nearly impossible for residents.
Michelangelo
Six hundred years later and still just a glorified parking lot fair. Boring.
Raphael
The fair is a great way to attract tourists and boost our international profile. We should definitely keep it, but maybe limit the operating hours to respect the nearby residents.
