you would be surprised...

this is bad(tm). The documentation specifically forbids single quotes in
these variables.

You may try a few things along the following lines:
[value name="whatever" set="[loop-data settori settore]" interpolate=1]
[page scan
           se=settore
           sf=[value name=whatever escaped=1]
]

if this does not work you may need a perl script that generates proper page
scan tags with HTML escapes.

Also: Are you sure sf and se are not exchanged?

That is strange.  Did you check error logs?
