Also in 1943 Cagliari dissolved the vote .
The simulacrum of the Saint, hoisted on the milk van of the Gorini company , crosses the streets of a ghostly city - devastated by bombing - with a sad procession. Also on board was Puppo , then sixteen years old, then a footballer and journalist also at Videolina and Sardegna Uno.
The citizens of Cagliari keep their promise , despite fears and dangers, because the risk of new air raids has not yet vanished. Francesco Secci , an engineer with a passion for art , revives that moment in the miniature exhibited these days in the Sant'Anna church, a monument seriously "wounded" by the bombs dropped by the "flying fortresses".
The artist from Cagliari, closely linked to the Efisian tradition, has created in recent years, using paper, cardboard and old fabrics. another miniature that represents the May 1st procession with the churches of Sant'Efisio and Sant'Anna, the procession of devotees with clothes that express identity and belonging, the horses, the tracas and the chariot.
This time he turned his attention, 80 years after the event, to the pilgrimage of Sant'Efisio under the bombs. To commemorate an act of faith that helped bring the city back to life.
