"Manola was good. Your presence here is proof of that. And she will live on." The words of Father Carlo Cogoni try to console the parents and brother of Manola Mascia, the twenty-eight-year-old who died in Cala Fighera together with her boyfriend Paolo Durzu . On the day of grief, many gathered around the young woman's family in the church of the Miraculous Medal, in Cagliari, in the neighborhood where Manola was born and raised, for the funeral.

At the first desk, her father Massimo and her mother Cristina, together with their brother Michele and their family members . And then the acquaintances and the Balentes Bikers, friends of the young woman's father, a motorbike enthusiast. And the girl had also taken part in some trips to the Island in the past.

Father Carlo remembered the day of Manola's baptism, in 1997. "There are no words to console the pain of the parents and brother. Only the certainty that after death there is resurrection." Then the exit of the coffin amid the tears of those present and the journey to the nearby cemetery of San Michele.

Also this afternoon, in Quartu, another family said a painful farewell to Paolo Durzu , who died together with his beloved in Cala Fighera in a tragic accident.
