Pasqua Corsi took part in the burning of the Court House in Sgurgola to protest high taxes. She was considered (by non-relatives) to be the prettiest girl in her village but she was also hot-tempered.

Pasqua hurt her back in a fall while carrying wood for fuel. She died at a young age. Her daughter Elisa died very young, and her son Carmine was very young when Pasqua died. She and her husband, Antonio, are buried in the Corsi family tomb in Sgurgola.
