Pink Floyd Expo In Venice? Regular Italian AFG correspondent Stefano Tarquini has been in touch to tell us about rumours circulating in an Italian newspaper (Il Gazzettino di Venezia) that state that there is to be an OFFICIAL Pink Floyd Expo to be held in Venice in July 2010. It's said that the organisers are looking for a suitable building that will be large enough to house the Flying Bed & Pig, Mr Screen, The Wall Airplane, instruments, lasers and interactive material. It's planned to have two dedicated exhibitions in honour of the late Syd Barrett & Richard Wright. Curiously the article concludes with this. "
it is not excluded that there is a surprise next year, maybe a new LP. Gilmour will be in tour in 2010 and it's not excluded that the next year we find something new by Pink Floyd”. (Translated).
We asked David's Manager about this and he has confirmed that they are looking at the possibility of an exhibition, although it's only in the discussion stage at this time. He also stated that it was doubtful that there will be a new album and tour from David in 2010, and assured us that there would be nothing new from Pink Floyd.

I honestly hope this is true. I will fly over to Venice from here in the U.S. just to see them.
