Last-day relief: Milan’s orchestra is saved by Government cheque, two years late
mainThe state had somehow failed to pay €3 million, promised in 2013. A further subsidy of 950,000 is guaranteed for the coming year, in a vague kind of way.

Seems a funny way to run a sweet shop.
but it does explain why they took more than six months to pay for concerts in 2012!!
