A mass but also a chat between "friends" to remember Michela Murgia just over a month after her death. The appointment is for Saturday 16 September in the seaside village of San Giovanni di Sinis where the writer from Cabrare spent her childhood.
In fact, the restaurant managed by his brother Cristiano is still present here. The initiative in memory of Michela Murgia will begin at 5.30 pm. First, a dialogue will be staged between Don Antonio Pinna and Marinella Perroni, whom the writer from Cabrare indicated as her teachers in the field of theological studies. The memorial service will follow. Then anyone who wants can stay in the churchyard of the small church to remember the writer together, who died on August 10 due to stage four kidney cancer. It was she who told the press about her state of health a few months earlier.
He was 51 years old. Michela was also remembered at the end of August in Cabras. The relatives asked Don Giuseppe Sanna to celebrate a mass a week after his death, which occurred in his home in Rome. Many citizens were present in the church of Santa Maria Assunta. In the front row, mother Costanza, destroyed by pain but happy to see so many people around her. In her honor the choir sang various songs written by the writer when she led the Catholic action of the boys in Cabras. Before landing in bookstores throughout Italy, before becoming the Michela Murgia of television salons, the independentist, the feminist, the political enemy, the one who tried every way to defend everyone's rights. Especially those of women and minorities.
Now all that remains is to wait for the decision that the Municipality of Cabras will take so as not to forget the writer. The mayor Andrea Abis had hypothesized a sort of referendum to involve the country, to understand the citizens' ideas. But he had also already launched the possibility of organizing an important literary festival capable of bringing many important writers to Cabras, the same ones that Michela Murgia frequented. Maybe.
