The singing choir is heard from outside. Finding a seat inside is almost impossible. To remember Michela Murgia early this morning, in the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Cabras , there were so many: the boys of the Catholic Action that she led for years, all her childhood friends, citizens, even several tourists and all the administrators municipal.

In the front row mother Costanza: head bowed, tears flowing, legs giving way and so much pain for the death of her daughter. At her side is her son Cristiano, Michela's beloved brother. The writer from Cabrarese, who died last August 10 in her Roman home, managed even in her absence to bring together many people.

Monsignor Giuseppe Sanna celebrated the homily: «God's love embraces everyone, without preferences, even the rejected, the weak. It teaches us that love of neighbor is without discrimination".

A bit like Michela Murgia shouted from boxes all over Italy, or when she presented her books. At the end of the mass, a long round of applause. And then everyone to say hello to Costanza Marongiu, the mother.
