Angela Romei (born February 20, 1997 in Monopoli) is an Italian curler from Pinerolo.[2] She currently plays second on Team Stefania Constantini.

Career

Junior career

Romei joined the Italian junior national team in 2013–14 and competed at the 2014 World Junior Curling Championships. She remained active at the junior B level through 2017, serving as skip in her final seasons.[3]

Early national team career (2017–2020)

Romei joined the Italian women’s national team in 2017–18 as lead for skip Diana Gaspari. That season, Italy won the bronze medal at the 2017 European Curling Championships, the nation’s third women’s medal at the event. She made her World Championship debut in 2018.[4] After Gaspari’s departure, Romei moved to second on a restructured national lineup skipped by Veronica Zappone.[5]

Rise of Team Constantini (2021–2024)

With Stefania Constantini taking over as skip in 2021, Romei became part of a new lineup that returned Italy to the World Women's Curling Championship. The team steadily improved, achieving Italy’s first‑ever playoff appearance at the 2023 World Women's Curling Championship and winning the silver medal at the 2023 European Curling Championships. During this period, Italy rose into the world top ten for the first time. At the 2024 World Women's Curling Championship, the team finished 10–2 in the round robin and placed fourth, matching Italy’s best result at the event.[6]

Later career and controversy (2025–2026)

Romei remained with Team Constantini through the 2024–25 season, competing at the 2025 World Women's Curling Championship.[7] She was later left off the roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics in favour of junior skip Rebecca Mariani, a decision that drew scrutiny due to Mariani’s family connection to Italy’s technical director. Romei appealed the selection to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which dismissed her case in February 2026, ruling that team selection rested with the Italian federation and that there was no basis to overturn the decision.[8] Team Constantini disbanded at the end of the season.[9]
