Those present gathered around Paoletto with words of comfort . "A tragedy," said coach Ambrogio Muscas. "We couldn't miss it. I have no words: a very strong pain. Paoletto lost his 20-year-old daughter, the youngest of his daughters: it's terrible. We stand by him and his family."

Fellow villagers and friends of the Porcu family could not really miss it. The church immediately proved too small, with hundreds of people who followed the funeral rite from the churchyard of the church of San Teodoro . The words of the celebrant were moving.
