Overview
- The funeral was held on March 14 at the Basilica of Santa Maria in Montesanto in Rome, with Monsignor Antonio Staglianò officiating and a large turnout from the public and show business.
- Musical tributes featured La lontananza, which Bonaccorti co‑wrote, and Renato Zero’s Il cielo, while a letter from Zero was read in his absence due to tour commitments.
- Her daughter, Verdiana Pettinari, accompanied the casket into the church and later thanked mourners outside in Piazza del Popolo.
- Bonaccorti had disclosed she prepared a will and set precise funeral preferences, including a request for no cut flowers and selections for the music.
- Coverage indicates Verdiana is expected to inherit, likely including a longtime home near Rome’s Ponte Milvio and a residence on the Argentario, with formal succession to proceed as required; TV tributes continued with Pino Insegno reading her poem on March 13 and Mara Venier’s remembrance on March 15.
