The medieval church of Nostra Signora di Valverde is too small to contain the pain of a community that lost Aurora Marcia and Riccardo Lai, two “children” of just seventeen years old, who died in the tragic accident on Saturday night on State Road 130 in Iglesias.

But not even the square where the two lovers were bid farewell could contain the many people who, still in disbelief over the tragedy, attended the funeral rite celebrated by the Archbishop Emeritus of Cagliari Arrigo Miglio.

A moving ceremony concluded with the release of white balloons by Aurora and Ricky's friends who said goodbye by roaring the engines of their motorcycles.
