Separate funerals for Ciriaco Pigliaru and Anna Cupelloni. The last farewell to the 65-year-old Sardinian who a week ago killed his wife and then took his own life was set for Monday at the cemetery of Castel Sant'Elia, in Viterbo, with a secular ceremony. While for the 57-year-old this afternoon at the basilica of Sant'Elia the funeral rite will take place with the family who asked not for flowers but good works. Anna's body will then be taken to Viterbo for cremation.
The double drama was staged in the farmhouse in the Pianavella area, where one of the couple's two daughters lives. Pigliaru presented himself with a rifle, which he had stolen from a friend by locking it in a warehouse, shot his wife from whom he was separating and finally turned the weapon towards him and killed himself.
At the base of the gesture there would be precisely the non-acceptance of the interruption of the relationship.
