As soon as the news of his death went around the world, the proposal came from Cagliari: «Largo Carlo Felice must become Largo Gigi Riva». Remove the Savoy king from the pedestal, in his place the statue of Thunderclap. The internet (and not only) has been invaded by sharing, both social and of intent.

Someone moved forward, regardless of the risk of a complaint: this afternoon a man, armed with a red spray can, traced the writing "Largo Riva" on the marble in Piazza Yenne, at the foot of the simulacrum erected in honor of Savoy, never too loved.

An action, immortalized by the reporter Marcello Cocco, carried out while Rombo di Tuono's funeral was being celebrated in the Basilica of Bonaria, with thousands and thousands of Sardinians paying homage to the champion.
