Italy pays its respects to Morosini at footballer's Bergamo funeral

Thousands of fans have converged on the Italian city of Bergamo for the funeral of footballer Piermario Morosini, who collapsed and died during a match. The 25-year-old Livorno player had been playing in a second division match in Pescara last Saturday. Initially it was thought Morosini had suffered a cardiac arrest but a post mortem on Monday proved inconclusive. More than 10,000 people travelled to the church in what Italian media termed a "peaceful invasion" of Bergamo. Among the mourners at San Gregorio Barbarigo church were Italy's national coach, Cesare Prandelli, and Italian league president Maurizio Beretta. Players from Atalanta, Udinese, Inter Milan and Parma were also there.
