ANCONA – The rain does not stop the San Ciriaco Fair: boom in attendance also for the rides at the Passetto. Who returned to that point, near the War Memorial in Piazza IV Novembre, after several years.
And right on the rides, Mr Savior says his opinion: «Perhaps, in that position the carnies earn more, but I don’t understand why some members of the current council, when they were in opposition some time ago, they criticized the choice of the then Gramillano administration to place the games there and instead now they have done the opposite of what they said».

Fried foods are the most popular, from donuts to gnocco. Among other things, to delight the palate, there is not only the Viale della Vittoria, but also square Pertini, where the van of Roberto Salvan, by Matilde del Monticino, is located. He is the one who satisfies people’s hunger with delicious gnocchi in the most diverse flavors ranging from carbonara to Nutella.
«We feel great in Ancona, but we are worried about the change in management of the trade fair events. This is in fact the last year for the Blue Nautilus – Salvan reflects – Who will come next? Will our desire to return be respected? And will the possible company that could take over be as serious as the one that exists now?”. His fear is to be cut off as he has been last Christmas: «In December 2023, for example, we weren’t there because of the new administration had reduced the space of the market. Now, I’m thinking about pop-ups, which are very popular Lombardy. What is certain is that – she reiterates – I would hate to leave Ancona. It’s a wonderful city, people come back for us, they look for us. The gnocco is also popular for takeaway.”
During the interview, a group of very young people approaches, they are around 18 years old. They line up in front of an elderly lady 85 years, Ancona doc. She also chooses takeaway because the clouds above our heads don’t bode well. This is the magic of the Fair, but also of Salvan’s gnocco: uniting apparently distant generations.
Legitimate questions, for traders, on the Nautilus post. Traders who particularly appreciated the Municipality’s choice to hold a mini concert starting from April 30th in Piazza Pertini. A small one nightclub to sky open which brought together many young people who danced to the notes of Raffaella Carrà, Cesare Cremonini and Aventura. Three days ago, a toy train even ran away to the tune of Maracaibo.
The Coldiretti al Passetto village is doing well, even if some shopkeepers feel isolated: “There is little footfall.” Mr Sgubbi he just took one photo with the ex secretary Pd, Nicola Zingaretti, on the pitch for the European and walking around the city.
Two days ago, it was the turn of Matteo Ricci (also Pd), accompanied by the former Mayor Valeria Mancinelli: «I never give up walking at the fair – the former mayor said in a post on Facebook – It’s like a ritual, which must be renewed every year. Yesterday Matteo Ricci was with me, traveling these days for his application at the European elections in June. I’m happy to introduce him to people I know or they stop me.”
The Zingaretti Democratic Party, on the other hand, Luca’s brother (who lends his face to the Commissioner Montalbano, ed) was accompanied by former Mayor Fabio Sturani. «We stayed to talk for a few minutes, he was nice and helpful», says Sgubbi.
“The fair? I didn’t buy anything for myself – continues the Ancona native – Rather, I found something for mine granddaughter Adele”. But not even him for a ride at the fair renunciation. In short, controversies are ok, politics are ok, but the traditional Fiera di San Ciriaco continues to unite rather than divide.
