An emotional crowd attended the funeral of Marco Alfonso this afternoon in Quartu, the 21-year-old who died in the night between Saturday and Sunday in a terrible accident in via Leonardo da Vinci.

In the church of the Sacred Heart next to the family, there were many relatives and friends.

On the coffin, placed on the altar next to Baby Jesus, the photo of the young man, with the hat on his head and the light-hearted face , the one that mother Ilaria Serra likes so much who also had it printed in the small pictures distributed to those present with the back imprinted a brief thought «Hello our Love, guide us from above to endure the immense pain that we must face in living the rest of our lives without you». Father Antonello Piras has the task of trying to console his parents and little sister Emma.

«We find ourselves here accompanying our brother Marco on this journey – he says – it is a moment of great pain for the family, for friends, but also for the parish community. But I believe that it is important that this feeling of pain does not suffocate the feeling of gratitude for having given us Marco, even if for a few years. For what he sowed. It's time to rediscover faith, even if it's little, because it helps us see a glimpse of hope."
