And there are so many to remember and mourn her on social networks on this night of San Lorenzo. And almost everyone underlines the coincidence of the date of her death: “On the night of San Lorenzo a star went out … Hi Michela!” Elena tweeted, summarizing the thought of all her loyal readers.
Many tributes also from the world of politics and culture. “We are losing a powerful voice in public debate, a creative writer and a free and courageous person,” writes Action leader Carlo Calenda. “Hello Michela. I loved you. Thanks for everything. May the earth be light on you”, the message of the leader of the Italian Left, Nicola Fratoianni. “Dear Michela, thank you for everything you have done – writes Dem deputy Marco Furfaro on Twitter -, for everything you fought for. In our small way, we will try to be free and tenacious like you. Have a good trip, we will miss you much”.
“Until the end – underlines the former Pd parliamentarian Monica Cirinnà – he did not stop showing us a better world, made of respect, love, communion and sharing”. To remember her as “a formidable, talented, reckless contemporary revolutionary” is Gad Lerner. “I forbid myself to exhibit personal memories – writes the journalist – and I mourn with you this Sardinian woman who left us with a smile on her lips”. And from the editorial staff of Presa Diretta, Riccardo Iacona consoles himself by thinking that “your books, interviews, podcasts, your free thought remain to enlighten us on this very sad night of San Lorenzo”. For the German journalist and well-known television face Constanze Reuscher “an extraordinary and extraordinarily courageous woman died tonight, the ‘girl who wanted to be free’, let us not forget her and her commitment”.
A private memory is that of Geppi Cucciari: “That last smile of yours, luminous woman, I will always carry with me”. The farewell of Paola Turci who tweets is synthetic and powerful: “No. It is unbearable #MichelaMurgia”.
