Insero spoke to mourners gathered in Santa Maria in Montesanto, also known as the ‘Church of the Artists’, in Piazza del Popolo.
He said the opinion leader known for her outspoken views in defence of rights, freedoms and a more inclusive society had “fought many battles and kept her faith”.
“She left us this testimony: it is possible to love in pain, to say goodbye to everyone and to be reconciled with everyone,” he said.
Murgia died from a cancer that she made public in May when she knew she only had a short time left to live.
When asked whether she felt death was an injustice, she replied, “No.”
“I am 50 years old, but I have lived ten lives,” she explained.
“I have done things that the vast majority of people don’t do in a lifetime. Things I didn’t even know I wanted. I have precious memories.”
In July she married actor and director Lorenzo Terenzi and they lived with her extended “queer family”, also comprising four “soul children”.
