San Sperate says goodbye to his Santa Claus.
The man who for years has given smiles and fun with his "double identity" of Santa Claus was Michelangelo Boi and today, dozens have flocked to the village parish to give him a last farewell.
He was so fond of his role as Santa Claus that he even has his costume in the photo. White beard, glasses and good-natured spirit were his characteristic features as told by friends and family: «He will be missed, but even if he is gone his spirit and his teachings will remain with us».
The 75-year-old had hung up his costume with the discovery of ALS in 2016.
The story of Michelangelo Moi and his adventure as Santa Claus of San Sperate tomorrow on the Unione Sarda.
