Along all the routes there will be control operators, Civil Protection and the police as well as Italian Red Cross rescue workers with emergency vehicles. All the routes to the concert area are located inside the park with long, wide areas of shade as they are located in the middle of the park's vegetation. There are ecological islands along all routes. The public is asked to cooperate as much as possible in following the instructions of the personnel in charge and in the appropriate use of the collection points at the ecological islands.
The exits considered at the end of the concert are the same as those indicated above for the entrance. Follow the instructions of the control service and only use the illuminated routes.
It is not recommended to use the Villasanta entrance - even if open during the day, as it is the Park gate - as it is not easy to reach the concert area.

Via Cavriga, which is accessed from Villasanta, is open to Blue Shuttle transit only and not to pedestrians, even on entry.
