Funeral obituaries should be posted at the government gate. Why does Italy attach so much importance to funeral obituaries?

In Italy, a famous European country, especially in the south of Apennines, it is an important activity to publish funeral obituaries, which is highly valued. In suburbs or towns, the obituaries of the deceased will be posted on the public bulletin boards of government offices, usually in places not far from death, near the city center, churches, and frequent places. For example, markets and post offices are faster and more effective than newspaper obituaries. The purpose is to hope that more people know that someone has passed away and strive to win more people to attend the funeral.

Due to the relentless spread of COVID-19, Italy has become the country with the worst epidemic in Europe. Bergamo, especially in northern Italy, is the most serious epidemic area in Italy. At the beginning of the outbreak, many residents in the north fled married and took care of their children overnight and rushed to southern Italy. Quite a few people have not left the north, or there is no way to leave the north. In the obituary column of the community, we can see more and more names posted on it, which is shocking.

As soon as the busy neighborhood was empty, no one looked for it.

Due to the increasing number of confirmed cases and deaths in COVID-19, the local crematorium in Bergamo City is unbearable. At present, about 300 to 400 bodies need to be transported to crematoria in other parts of Italy for treatment. The government sent the Italian military to help transport these bodies that need special cremation.

Hospitals are also in the process of continuous rotation. Not many patients can get effective treatment in the hospital. Many patients can't survive after being rescued by medical staff overnight, but there are still more incurable patients who die in their own homes.

It's sad to see that even the church is used to put the coffin of the dead. The bodies of infected people must be cremated. If it is not handled properly, it will lead to a large area of infection and expand the disease. Therefore, the government cremated the bodies with great care.
