Fabriano

Description

Municipality in the province of Ancona, located in the valley of Giano, completely surrounded by mountains, Fabriano is known as the "city of paper" for the booming paper industry present here. It is a medieval village of which are still visible sections of fortified walls dating from the second half of the XIII century. The town preserves jewels of art and architecture, and numerous religious complexes and was the site of a late Gothic Art School with representative pupils such as Gentile da Fabriano.
While the surrounding territories had been inhabited since Prehistoric times, the center was built only in the Middle Ages, thanks to the aggregation, in the XII century, of the two castles of Castelnuovo and Castelvecchio. Great influence was exerted on the area by the spread of monastic settlements. It was proclaimed municipality in 1165, due to the gradual increase of its importance, up until the period of the Lordship of Chiavelli, against who the inhabitants rebelled. Traces of the XIII century walls, still visible today, report the period of urban expansion, fueled by the remarkable development of the local handicraft. At the fall of the domain of the Chiavelli in 1435, the town submitted a long period of decline that lasted until the XVIII century, period in which the town was ruled by the Sforza, and the Papal States.
