Porto Torres bids farewell to sea wolf Gavino Azzica

The sirens of the fishing boats docked at the quayside of Porto Torres paid their last respects to Gavino Azzica, one of the last remaining seafarers, who passed away at the age of 85. This morning, the fishermen and those who lived by the sea and fishing every day paid their respects, a passion Azzica had cultivated from a very young age, when the profession called him and he was able to pursue a path that accompanied him throughout his life. Until the very end.

Known as "Bacigalupo," the name commemorates one of Torino's greatest players, specifically for his goalkeeping skills, when they played at the Occone stadium, the old facility once occupied by many talented players. After Mass in the Church of the Holy Spirit, the coffin was carried by hearse to the fishing pier for a bow to the boats that still today tell the tale of the toil of the sea. He was accompanied by his family, friends, and many traveling companions on an adventure that will remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
