On March 27th, 1970, Alcide Cervi passed away, symbol of the Resistance and known as "Papà Cervi" ("Cervi Dad"). Civil funerals are held on March 30th. From a stage mounted in Piazza Martiri (July 7th, 1960), in front of the Romolo Valli Thatre in Reggio Emilia, several high-profile politcial figures gave a speech: Renzo Bonazzi (then Mayor of Reggio Emilia), Ferruccio Parri, Giorgio Amendola. On the stage, serious behind his dark glasses, Sandro Pertini. Just beneath the stage the ornated coffin, in front of a crowded square. Franco Cigarini recorded with more than a reel the days in celebration of Cervi Dad. The director, in fact, was very close to Alcide, so that he dedicated the documentary "Cervi Dad" to him, made on commission for Unitelefilm.
