Quintana, countdown: here are the beauties of Tufilla

Ascoli Piceno, July 5, 2025 – Elegance, charm, and a splendid smile . These are the characteristics of the two ladies chosen by the Porta Tufilla district for this year's two Quintane. They were presented yesterday in the cloister of Sant'Antonio Abate by the new district chief Lucio Sermarini and the consul Francesco Mazzocchi, in the presence of the knight Mattia Zannori.

The 'lady' of July, for the night edition, will be 31-year-old Angelica Modestini. Born in Ascoli but resident in Spinetoli, she has always been linked to the historical reenactment and the red and black district since childhood. "My grandparents lived for years in Porta Tufilla - says Angelica, mother of two wonderful children, Nina and Carlos Maria -. My father paraded and I will finally experience this emotion. In fact, it is my first Quintana".

In the past, in 2012, she was the protagonist of some episodes of Uomini e Donne . Angelica, who will wear a blue dress, is the owner of a beauty center in Stella di Monsampolo and also holds training courses. The lady of August, on the other hand, will be Natalia Carassai, a 32-year-old administrative officer in the Accounting department of the Municipality. Married for just a year to Edoardo, an entrepreneur, she is a huge fan of Ascoli and a true quintanara. “I am a girl full of interests - the Rossoneri lady describes herself -. The Quintana is one of these. I have participated in the parade several times in the past as a page girl and bridesmaid. But I was also a noblewoman in 2019 for the municipal group. I am very attached to this sestiere, the place of my adolescence and which for the last three years, together with my husband, has become home. I have all my best memories in Campo Parignano and I hope that this experience can be another page in my life”.

Both hoped to bring good luck to the new knight Mattia Zannori. The caposestiere Lucio Sermarini said he was excited and proud to be the head of the red and black committee. Consul Mazzocchi, on the other hand, remarked how finally, after a few years, the Porta Tufilla sestiere has returned to being united. There were also many evenings promoted for the quintanaro period. Of course, the propitiatory dinners stand out, but also the Vino e Boccaccio party set for July 24. On this occasion, the dishes will be paired with three glasses of wine from the Strappelli winery in Torano Nuovo.
