A large crowd of villagers but also many people from nearby towns flocked to Mogoro for a final emotional farewell to Salvatore Atzeni , 64 years old. “Rocca” as everyone knew him, passed away suddenly , leaving his wife and four children in tears and leaving an entire town speechless, where the deceased was truly loved by everyone, young and old.
Over the weekend there had been his last two public outings where he appeared, as always, smiling and full of life. On Saturday he didn't want to miss out to welcome the new parish priest Don Massimiliano, while on Sunday he was in the stands cheering on Freccia Mogoro, the team he loves on a par with Cagliari.
But above all he was in love with his Mogoro, always involved in the front row for any initiative and activity. 30 years ago he helped found the parish oratory, but he did not disdain his commitment to volunteering and social work.
