The first core of the city lies at the limits of a Roman settlement located between the river and the immense Aspio Selva that provided sustenance and shelter to the first community. Following the flooding of the valley by rivers Aspio and roller, the original settlement moved to the present hill assuming the name “Castrum Giccardi” and, by the twelfth century that of “Castrum Ficcardi”. In 1240 it was destroyed by King Enzo and later restored by Pope Gregory IV. In 1337 it passed under the rule of the Malatesta and in 1443 under the rule of Francesco Sforza. With the expulsion of the people of Ancona in 1527, “Castrum Fidardum” is definitely the peace under the protection of the Church. In 1860 Castelfidardo is the scene of one of the greatest feats of arms of the Italian Risorgimento between the papal army of General Cialdini. The Battle of Castelfidardo marked the end of papal rule and gave birth to the Italian Kingdom.
