Ascoli, August 19, 2026 – A very sad news has moved the entire Piceno community. Luciano Angelini, better known as ‘Panzetta’, historic owner of the company ‘Pancaffè’, a roasting brand that has been exported throughout Italy, passed away this evening.
He left this way, leaving relatives and friends in sadness. Luciano had turned 60 last February 4 and 4 days ago he had taken his beloved Linda to the altar, aware that the illness he was fighting would not give him respite. The announcement of his passing on social media was made by his lifelong friend Maurizio ‘Cera’ Castelli: “Hello fraternal friend – he wrote – At this point it’s getting harder and harder to live… more and more alone… but we will all meet again. Goodbye my great friend.”
Always smiling, tireless worker, friendly and great company, Luciano was very well known and respected. From being a representative of pod machines and vending machines, he expanded his clientele with the distribution of coffee beans for catering, expanding the headquarters on Via del Commercio along the industrial area, making it a true point of reference.

Colleague Danilo: “The city loses a great entrepreneur”
“I was born professionally with him – said friend and colleague Danilo Capoferri – I was by his side for twenty-one years before entering the management of the Ventidio Basso theater. Today the city has lost an extraordinary entrepreneur who took Pancaffè around the world starting from Ascoli passing through Teramo, Pescara, Rieti, to reach southern Italy and Morocco. A wonderful person who did a lot of good and who certainly did not receive in return all that he gave.” The body will be transferred today to the Damiani Funeral Home with the funeral ceremony to be held tomorrow.
