Dpain and emotion yesterday in Torre del Greco at the funeral of Santo Virgi, the 11-year-old boy who died last week after choking on a bite of pizza while at the table with his family.
Despite the timely intervention of rescuers and a delicate surgical procedure, the little boy did not survive.
Faced with this immense pain, Santo's parents made an extraordinary gesture of love: they donated their son's organs, thus saving the lives of other children.
The community of Greek's tower gathered around the Virgi family in this moment of deep grief.
Santo's funeral took place yesterday afternoon in the Basilica of Santa Croce.
Hundreds of people, including the child's classmates, attended the ceremony to say their last goodbye to this little angel who flew to heaven too soon.
On Santo's coffin, a banner reads: "You will always be in our hearts. You are a saint and you will remain a saint."
