"Goodbye Alessandro, it was an honor to be your friend." They wanted to remember him like this, embracing him in the sea he loved so much. About forty boats departed from Marina Piccola that afternoon to dock beneath the Devil's Saddle, with dozens of people aboard, throwing the many bouquets of flowers that had accompanied the funeral at the church of San Luca, in Margine Rosso.

A stretch of sea Alessandro Collu, 26, knew well. The young man who died suddenly the other day was a skipper. "He will always be with us," his friends chorused, singing the songs he loved most.
