Flags at half-mast in all institutional offices of the Sardinia Region. This is the decision taken late this morning by President Alessandra Todde, as a sign of mourning for the passing of Pope Francis.

"We pay heartfelt homage," Todde says, "to a man who until the end never stopped preaching peace, brotherhood, love and care for the least . A man who always shouted to the world to stop in the face of the madness of war and the destruction of Creation."
