The origins of Gualdo are lost in ancient times …

In all probability it was built after the destruction of Urbisaglia and Falerone, when the lords of these cities, to escape the massacre of barbarians, fled to nearby mountains and began to build their castles on high to defend themselves from the incursions of enemies. The name derives from the Lombard word Wald, ie wood, of which the entire area was covered. Castle Gualdo was the fortress of the ancient and powerful house of Brunforte, which decayed in 1319 sold it to the city of Fermo. For issues of border between San Gines Gualdo and there were long periods of conflict, until in 1484, through the intervention of Pope Sixtus IV, the two communities signed a judgment which set the boundaries of the river Salino. The importance of the castle of Gualdo was also determined by the fact that in his area were crossing the border between the diocese of Camerino and Fermo.
