Cingoli is a small, enchanting city in Italy's Marches region, situated in the
heart of the Marchigiano hills, at 631 m above sea level. From
the castle walls that have surrounded Cingoli since the Middle Ages, one can
enjoy a panorama of the entire Marchigiano territory, all the way to the
Adriatic Sea. For this reason Cingoli is called the "Balcony of the Marches".
Cingoli's origins can be traced back to earliest antiquity. On the hill where
the city now rises, there were human settlements in the Neolithic period and the
Bronze Age. Then, in the 9th century B.C., Cingoli's lands were inhabited by the
ancient Picene people. In 60 B.C. Cingoli was fortified as an official Roman
town by Titus Labienus, a native son of the city and lieutenant to Julius Caesar
in his Gallic wars.
It became a free city-state (a comune, the word still used to denote a self-
governed Italian city or town) in the 12th century A.C., then became part of the
Papal States, as a seat of government, until the Unification of Italy, in 1860.
Cingoli stands rich in history: the monuments, the many churches, the noble
palaces of various eras make for an interesting visit. In addition, Cingoli is
surrounded by some 4.500 hectares of forest and woods that offer endless possibilities for observing nature.
Also of interest to
visitors is Cingoli's Lake, the largest man-made body of water in Central Italy. The location of Cingoli, on the edge of the provinces of Macerata and Ancona,
allows those who stay here to make excursions to the most beautiful spots in the
Marches and also in the neighboring region of Umbria.
