Today at 3.30 pm in Rome, the last farewell to Michela Murgia , the writer from Cabras who died two days ago at the age of 51. The funeral in the church of the Artists: «A meeting of all those who have read it, loved it, defended it, supported it. A celebration of the road traveled together», explains his friend Roberto Saviano. "This funeral has nothing private, for all it was his writing, for all it was his saying, for all his struggle and for all this greeting will be".

In fact, until the last day, Michela Murgia wrote and her book, expected shortly for Rizzoli, will be dedicated to parenthood and the family.

“She was a woman who fought to defend her ideas, albeit notoriously different from mine, and I have great respect for this,” Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said of her on social media. And words of homage come from ministers Sangiuliano and Santanchè, while deputy prime minister Salvini invokes "a prayer".

In the will, edited by Cathy La Torre, Murgia condensed his political struggle so that every type of family, even those that do not have blood ties, can have recognition "before the law and the state", explains the lawyer. That queer family, an anti-patriarchy manifesto, which the writer has created around herself in recent years and with which she celebrated, on July 23, the wedding celebrated a few days earlier "in articulo mortis" with Lorenzo Terenzi . All in white, the resin chevalier rings with frogs, emblem of change, and the wording God save the queer embroidered in red beads on the dress designed for Michela by Maria Grazia Chiuri. "It's not a party," explained the writer when marrying Terenzi, actor, director, author and musician, known in 2017 thanks to a theatrical show. “We did it reluctantly: if we had had another way to guarantee each other's rights we would never have resorted to such a patriarchal and limited instrument. No wishes, therefore, because the ritual we would have liked does not yet exist. But it will exist and we want to help bring it to life».
