Monte Vidon Corrado

Monte Vidon Corrado rose in medieval times in a strategic position, on the axis of communication between the Tenna and Chienti valleys, on a panoramic spur dominating the territory from the Sibillini Mountains to the sea. Of that past the toponym remains, referable to the “castle of Guidone” and later of “Corrado,” one of Fallerone’s sons, the first mention remains in a document of 1229, when Fermo sought coalition with neighboring castles to stem the will to expand of Rinaldo, Duke of Spoleto; the medieval matrix is strongly legible in the urban structure, imprinted on the ancient feudal castle enclosure whose polygonal walls, now incorporated in later buildings, date back to the 14th-15th centuries.
