The crowd in Via Lanza, just after the main moment. From the images, though, the last good-bye is full of grief, maybe a bit sad - but the eyes waiting for Togliatti's body are not discouraged. Follwing it, until Vittorio Emanuele Square, the collective emptiness shaking eveeryone in the mob comes out - and, as a symbol of the whole ceremony, an old man carries a picture a picture of Togliatti of his hat, as a tiara, a moving shrine to the idea and to the man.
