Castelnuovo fa parte del Comune di Recanati, in provincia di Macerata, nella regione Marche.
Castelnuovo is part of the Municipality of Recanati, in the province of Macerata, in the Marche Region. The village or place of Castelnuovo is 2.62 kilometers from the same town of Recanati to which it belongs. Recanati, gradually formed with some small places, built on the back of the same hill: Monte Morello Castle/San Vito Castle, otherwise known as Borgo Muzio; Monte Volpino and the village of Castelnuovo, (built like all the other villages of the time at the foot of the feudal castle) which seems to have been originally called the Castle of Ricinati. From the Annals of Monaldo Leopardi: “The name of Castelnuovo could contrast with this supposition; but probably when the other castles that formed Recanati joined in one country, the inhabitants of the oldest castle abandoned it at least in part, rising to inhabit our land, because it was built on the highest part of the hill. After the number of inhabitants grew, the new town gradually joined with the old castle, which may have given itself the name of Castelnuovo at the time. Meanwhile, local traditions, which must always be given great importance, want the village or district of Castelnuovo to be the oldest part of the city. " |
