In Borore, tears and silence reigned. Behind the coffin, with the family, were many young people from all over the area. Inside and outside the church of the Blessed Virgin of the Assumption, a huge crowd gathered, including many young people, like Omar Barranca , before his life was cut short by a tragic fall from a horse on Sunday afternoon, the eve of the most eagerly awaited festival in Borore, the feast of San Lussorio.

The church was packed to capacity, with Mass celebrated by parish priest Father Salvatore Putzolu, Father Mario Cadeddu, and Father Maurizio Demartis . Father Paolo Contini also arrived from Abbasanta, and was close to Omar's family. " We are experiencing a family tragedy, which involves the entire community," Father Salvatore began his homily. "We want," he added, "to express all our affection and grief for Omar, who is no longer with us." Addressing the family, he continued: "The death of a son is an unnatural death, which will forever remain a bleeding thorn."

A community mourning, not proclaimed institutionally, but in absolute spontaneity. Shops, bars, and many other businesses remained closed for the entire day. All scheduled events, including the weekend, were suspended and canceled.

"The community has been deeply affected by this immense tragedy," said Mayor Tore Ghisu . " It has responded with composure to this loss, sharing in the family's grief."

After Mass, Omar's friends carried the coffin on its final journey to the cemetery. A long, silent procession passed through the streets, their walls plastered with funeral posters, including members of the "Inghirios" knights' association. After the tragedy, those flowers, placed there by compassionate hands, remain.
