It was just called “The little shop”. For everyone in Pirri it was "Olga Murgia's little shop". Its shutters will remain lowered forever: the historic trader from Pirri has left in recent days. He was 79 years old. The funeral will take place on Thursday 17 August in the open-air chapel of the San Michele cemetery.
Olga Murgia remained operational almost until the last of her days, in that small room at 189 in via Riva Villasanta.
It had resisted the advent of large hypermarkets and online sales, serving at least three generations, of kids and not only.
At Christmas he had toys, on Valentine's Day the shop window was painted red for the gifts of lovers, at Carnival it exploded with colours, towards summer it was filled with beach items, on New Year's Eve fireworks appeared. Decades of uninterrupted activity. To certify them that sign, where the number still appears without the prefix. Next to it, that slogan: "Gifts for her and thoughts for him".
Now the thought of many who knew her is for her: Olga Murgia, who closed due to mourning.
