Sport in Asti and martial arts in particular mourn the death of the eighty-eight-year-old Adele Manfredda Promis, president of the Judo Olimpic Asti asd company since 2006. Mrs. Adele was passionate about judo in the 1970s, bringing her children to lessons held by the Master Franco Balladelli, a reference figure in the martial arts of Asti. In the mid-1980s she became president of the judo section of the Polisportiva Cassa di Risparmio di Asti and in 2006 she assumed the presidency of the Judo Olimpic Asti asd, also obtaining the Coni Bronze Star for sporting merits.
A love for judo that has led her to pass this passion down from generation to generation, up to her granddaughter Silvia Pellitteri, member of the Italian national judo team, silver medalist at the 2019 European Championships and winner of many tournaments, daughter of Luciana Promis.
The Adele Promis rosary is scheduled for this evening, Friday, at 20.30, at the small church of Valmanera where, tomorrow at 10.30, the funeral will also take place.
