Historical Notes
Monte Vidon Corrado sprang up in the Middle Ages in a strategic position, on the communication axis between the Tenna valley and the Chienti on a panoramic spur which dominates the territory from the Sibillini to the sea. Of that past remains the place-name, which refers to the “castle of Guidone” and later of “Corrado”, one of the sons of Fallerone, the first mention is present in a document dated 1229, when Fermo sought the coalition with the nearby castles to hold in check the will to expand of Rinaldo, duke of Spoleto; the medieval matrix however is extremely noticeable in the urban structure, imprinted in the ancient deep-set feudal castle, the polygonal walls of which, presently absorbed in later buildings, go back to the XIV-XV century.
