Around 2,000 mourners filled Padua's Basilica of Santa Giustina on Tuesday for the funeral of the Alex Zanardi, the Italian Formula One driver who became a four-time Paralympic cycling gold medallist after his legs were amputated following a 2001 car-racing accident and who died aged 59 on Friday. The Bologna native's handbike was placed beneath the altar for his final farewell and Zanardi's wife Daniela and son Niccolò accompanied his coffin into the church.
