Many are arriving in Nusco for the funeral of Ciriaco De Mita, which will be celebrated at 6.30 pm by the bishop of Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, Pasquale Cascio.
However, most of those present will not be able to access the small cathedral of Nusco: the access road has been cordoned off, and the rite can be followed through a large screen mounted in a square about two hundred meters from the church.
A measure that aroused discontent among those who arrived in Nusco, counting on being able to be physically present at the funeral.
Meanwhile, the governor Vincenzo De Luca, the mayor of Benevento Clemente Mastella (long-time spokesman for the DC secretary in the 1980s) and numerous exponents of politics have already arrived, from former ministers Angelino Alfano and Nicola Mancino to Giuseppe Gargani, a former DC historian: " I will miss your reproaches, "he told reporters.
Representing the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic will be Ettore Rosato and Sergio Puglia.
