Ciao Roma!

Exactly twenty years ago today, one of the most controversial Madonna shows ever took place in Rome, Italy. On July 10, 1990 the Stadio Flaminio in Rome hosted the notorious “Blond Ambition” date “doomed” by the Vatican, that fans surely remember documented in the Truth or Dare film.

Actually other factors contributed to flop sales more than the silly and ridiculous protests carried on by the Vatican paper “L’osservatore Romano“. Tickets going on sale just a week prior to the event combined with poor publicity and the beginning of the long summer holidays were the factors that most discouraged the general public leaving mainly die-hard fans to enjoy the event.

And here’s one of the original tickets form that “controversial” night from the archive of MadonnaTribe‘s webmasters who were lucky to see the show that night.
