Marina Masia loved the sea, the landscapes, her island. The same sea that on Thursday snatched her away, at the age of 29, from her loved ones who gathered this afternoon in the parish of Le Grazie in Nuoro to bid her a last farewell, moved. A crowd, helpless in the face of yesterday's drama at the Piscine di Venere: a branch of holm oak fell, overwhelming them as they swam. Help is useless.
Marina, shortly before her last bath in the company of her brother Riccardo and her mother, wrote to her friends: «I'm going home». A message that Don Pinuccio Demarcus interpreted as prophetic during his homily: « It is as if the Lord were calling you to heaven, our true home. Marina was going there.'
It also shook her friends, who would never have expected such a tragedy for that girl who was building a great career as a doctor: «I never thought it was her - says a friend of hers - same age, from Nuoro, it could have been anyone . We never expect these things to happen to those closest to us, we always want everything to go well for them. Then the name started circulating, I didn't believe it until the newspapers and TV news confirmed it. I was down. Destiny can be really cruel at times, he was building a great career."
