Most likely your name comes to the country from the Lombard “staffal” indicating originally “pole” and also used to mean “border post” or “stone”. On this track it is not unreasonable to assume that Stafford is probably built on an old village (vicus) Roman, a kind of military garrison.

The Middle Ages saw Stafford free city, and twice had to submit to Jesi, convinced by the strength of the opponents.

Stafford is governed by its own statutes and its history, it is almost needless to say, it does not differ from those of other centers and communities of Brand Anconetana.
