He dies in an accident while returning from his final exams, his diploma was given at the funeral

He had just taken his final exam and couldn't wait to get home to begin his summer. The summer that should be the best, most carefree of his entire life. Instead, Marco Coletta, a 19-year-old from Piove di Sacco (in the province of Padua), died in a car accident just as he was returning home after his exam.
Yesterday the funeral of the young man was held in the church of the Madonna Addolorata in Arzerello. A very moving moment reported by the local newspaper La Nuova di Venezia e Mestre. The coffin was welcomed especially by many young people who for their friend prepared on the churchyard a sheet full of signatures and a collage of photographs of the most beautiful moments shared together.

During the farewell mass, some lines written by mother Loredana were read. A touching moment: “You have always been a naughty boy,” she recalled speaking of her little boy, “not even the nuns at the nursery could control you. I always told you to go slowly, every day. I will always love you very much anyway.” The diploma was given to the parents. The one who placed it on the altar was vice-principal Frediana Fecchio, among the last to see it before he got into the car. “He made it,” said the teacher, addressing above all his father Antonio, “obtaining a grade of 64/100 thanks above all to a splendid oral exam that favorably impressed the commission.” “But I want to remember you as you were,” she then added, paraphrasing Guccini’s “Canzone per un’amica,” “to think that you are still alive, and that you are still smiling.” At the exit of the church, waiting for the coffin, in addition to many people, there were many white balloons that were left free to float in the blue sky together with other silver ones shaped like hearts and others with the letters of the name "Marco". He was accompanied in a procession to the nearby cemetery, where to welcome him, before the burial in the ground, there was a shower of white and yellow rose petals and in the air the notes of "Siamo solo noi" by Vasco Rossi.
