The body will be later carried to the Cervi House (Gattatico), where a funeral procession will lead the coffin to the cemetery in Campegine, where Alcide Cervi was buried with his wife and children. The Cervi House is sorrounded by people come so far to pay tribute to Cervi Dad, political personalities too such as Renzo Bonazzi, Nilde Iotti, Ferruccio Parri and Giorgio Amendola. 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.
