" Gianpilo, always in our hearts ", messages on the trucks lined up at the entrance to Ossi, which seem to thunder as Gianfranco Pilo's coffin exits the church of San Bartolomeo , in the town still stunned by that immense tragedy.
An immense crowd this morning accompanied the last journey of the 42-year-old truck driver , who died after being hit by his own car driven by a 10-year-old boy .
The children, in the front row, were ready to greet him, ready to release the white balloons into the sky on the way to the cemetery, with the flags of the San Cristoforo committee, of which Gianfranco Pilo was president.
The parish was not enough to contain the people who not only wanted to miss it, hundreds of people, some coming from nearby towns to pay homage to a young father, victim of an absurd accident.
At the entrance to the town, many colleagues wanted to dedicate messages to him with their trucks, words written on banners to say "Have a good trip".
The incredulous community still wonders why such a difficult tragedy to overcome occurred. Also present was the mayor of Ossi, Pasquale Lubinu: " Comrades until death and even after ," he wrote in a message left on social media. "That's how the tractors of the trucks in front of the cemetery seemed to thunder as they saluted the coffin . Three or four parish churches would not have been enough to contain all those who today wanted to say their last goodbye to "Giampilo"." A community that united in an embrace with the family.
