All one thousand seats were filled at the funeral ceremony on Friday for Giulio Regeni, the Italian doctoral research student who was brutally murdered in Egypt.
    The ceremony took place in a gymnasium in Regeni's hometown of Fiumicello, about 35 kilometres northwest of Trieste in the northern region of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where flags in the region's public offices flew at half-mast and the region's website displayed a black mourning ribbon.
    Businesses and public offices in Fiumicello were closed on Friday for a citywide day of mourning, with only coffee bars and restaurants open specifically to service the large number of mourners and press in town to cover the funeral.
    About one thousand additional mourners gathered outside of the gymnasium to pay their respects. Among the dignitaries present were Friuli-Venezia Giulia Governor Debora Serracchiani and Chairman of the Italian Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Pier Ferdinando Casini.
    Flowers were sent by the Italian Embassy and the University of Cambridge, where the 28-year-old Regeni was conducting his PhD research in the Department of Politics and International Studies.
    The funeral ceremony was conducted partially in English to accommodate Regeni's foreign friends who don't speak Italian.
    Regeni's casket was covered with white flowers and carried into the gymnasium followed by family and close friends.
