Shortly after the town of Castelfranco, there is a plaque commemorating a tragic news event many years ago, in which Marcella Mariani, winner of the Miss Italia 1953 competition, lost her life. The diva was the victim of a tragic plane crash during landing near Rieti. The accident occurred on 13 February 1955 and involved a Douglas DC-6 of the Belgian national airline Sabena. The plane crashed into the Acquasanta ridge on the slopes of Mount Terminillo. Unfortunately, all 29 people on board lost their lives in that accident.
