Real life is not the place of condolences. A look at the sidewalk in front of the Institute Auxologico with private eyes to the normal short circuit parties is inevitable. He died on Berlinguer, De Gasperi of Five Stars, founder and ideologist of a motion voted by at least one Italian out of four. There’s a flag, there is a militant, a bouquet of flowers, even the curious that in times like these never fail. Also absent representatives of other political parties, but that’s another story.

The funeral of Gianroberto Casaleggio
The obsession with privacy
The funeral home Gianroberto of Casaleggio is a direct result of an obsession with the confidence that had grown method and in this final chapter also includes a strict order of silence for a few close friends who are allowed to cross the threshold, after careful selection made by the staff that normally Beppe Grillo assists during his rallies. The opening comes shortly before eleven o’clock in the morning. Inside there are only son David, his wife and the immediate family. At midday comes the most awaited guest. Beppe Grillo walking a few meters ahead of Alessandro Di Battista and Luigi Maio, Roberto Fico and others of the Executive Board, who advance embraced. Next the young, the new generation of 5-star hotel, just behind the other noble father. If it was a running order willed and not casual, the message is clear. What has to change from this day of mourning it is a single text codified. The few words uttered by parliamentarians, regional and municipal councilors who come in dribs and drabs are identical to those that will be posted on Facebook in unison by Di Battista and Di Maio. “Do not spring a centimeter,” almost a paraphrase of the last text on the blog reference signed by Casaleggio. The blow was hard, it requires a reassuring call that is done on the web, where instead of condolence messages are numerous, intense. It almost seems that the extent of the loss from M5S flow elsewhere, far from here, a testament to a peculiarity of the movement often difficult to fully comprehend.

Dead Gianroberto Casaleggio: l? Farewell Network #CiaoGianroberto
The footprint of the cofounder
Casaleggio had no image public, was not a crazy driver. Yet everyone knew what mattered, what was its footprint, which never resulted in popularity, even by choice of the individual concerned. The use of Facebook by the two best-known youth out to be the immediate urgency to reassure the base, on as before. In the afternoon it is exposed in the court register of condolences. To the few passersby or simple strangers who come forward to sign it will not be allowed to go further. An elderly gentleman a bit ‘insistent Tampin Senator Nicola Morra that came out of the gate for a phone call. “Have you lost your compass, now try not to lose your bearings,” she repeats. Morra takes it seriously and accuses the press “that is disinformation claiming that we are divided when in fact we have never been so compact.”

Under the staircase leading to the funeral stacking trolleys and backpacks of parliamentarians arrived from Rome. First they ask all of David Casaleggio, which instead went off at lunch time to return to the office. The former spokesman Vito Crimi oversees the inputs and outputs. Inside, on the respect of privacy demanded by the family ensure a few select deputies and Walter Vezzoli, the Grillo driver who knows by heart every journalist. They sit in the left seat. The middle and the right is reserved to visitors who are admitted. Gianroberto Casaleggio rests with glasses on his nose and his beloved flat cap askew on his head, the best known image of a man that will continue for a long time still to be a mystery. At 18, the funeral home is closed. On the sidewalk there is no one, even the reporters are gone for some time. Today the funerals, church of Santa Maria alle Grazie, hours 11. That’s it.
