Chiarino is part of the municipality of Recanati, in the province of Macerata, in the Marche Region. The name Chiarino entered history at the time of the Municipalities, in 1530, the year of the Land Registry to give a name to the entire vast district, replacing and making the memory of the oldest denomination Ricina and derives from Pietro da Fossombrone, a Franciscan who in 1294 abandoned his name and became Friar Angelo da Chiarino becoming a prominent exponent of the Franciscan Order. Soon he adhered to the ideas of the Calabrian mystic Gioacchino da Fiore and to the spiritual current of the Order, considered by the ecclesiastical authorities a heresy. For this reason he was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1280. Released around 1289, he was sent to Armenia, from where he returned to Italy in 1294 with the election to the pontificate of Celestine V. The spirituals resumed being persecuted by the subsequent pontiff Boniface VIII and in 1299 Angelo took refuge in Greece for a few years. He returned in 1305, after the death of Pope Boniface and became the head of the spirituals of Marche and Umbria Region: his followers were later called Clareni in honor of their leader. In 1311 he was summoned to Avignon, where he was tried and exonerated by Pope Clemente V; but later, having obtained a large following of people also for inciting the Narbonne spirituals to rebellion during a ceremony in memory of Pietro di Giovanni Olivi, in 1317 he was excommunicated by Pope Giovanni XXII, the great enemy of the spirituals who considered him the perfect personification of the Antichrist. Protected by Cardinal Giacomo Colonna, on his death in 1318, Angelo had to run away to Subiaco, where he founded the order of the Fraticelli (or Brothers of the Poor Life) organized as an independent Franciscan order and contested the legitimacy of the papal authority. To escape the Inquisition he retired to Marsicovetere, in Basilicata, in the convent of Santa Maria dell'Aspro, where he attracted many local faithful, having produced a religious effervescence based on a spirituality that preached the poverty of the clergymen and the renewal of the life waiting for the Apocalypse. Here Angelo Clareno died on June 15th, 1337 and his grave became a destination for frequent pilgrimages.
