A solemn ceremony for the delivery of plaques of merit to the families of Sangavino soldiers who lost their lives during the Second World War. All the members of the Italian sailors' association of San Gavino Monreale were present for the occasion, who celebrated the solemnity of Santa Barbara while the plates were handed over to the relatives of the fallen.

«One of the members of the sailors' association - explains the councilor for culture Silvia Mamusa -, Graziano Marras, personally followed the search for the fallen with the involvement of relatives who were given the plaques in memory of Severino Meloni , Gervasio Cossu, Chiaro Mancosu, Agostino Muru, Nello Senis and Ezio Virdis. Their memory will remain in the memory of our community.

The members of the San Gavino sailors' association met in their historic headquarters in via Convento and then went to the church of Santa Chiara where mass was celebrated. At the end of the religious function, the sailors in procession, followed by the civil and military authorities, placed a laurel wreath dedicated to all the fallen soldiers in Piazza Cesare Battisti.
