Thunder rumble like Sant'Efisio , on the day of the last farewell to the champion Myth of the Sardinians.
On the occasion of Gigi Riva 's funeral in the Basilica of Bonaria (at 4pm) the sirens of the ships moored in the port of Cagliari will sound in unison, as for the usual salute to the holy martyr's chariot as it passes in front of the Town Hall.

A farewell - to the Scudetto leader - which will involve the whole city, even those who cannot be present at the function but who will still want to join in prayer and dedicate a thought to the champion.

The sound of all the sirens will accompany the exit of the coffin from the church while - in the stretch of sea in front of the Bonaria steps - there will be tugboats.
