Background
The official birth of the Municipality, took place in 1194, and took place through the so-called Patto d'Argenta, stipulated in the castle of the homonymous town in Romagna before the Archbishop of Ravenna to which it submitted until 1230 when, after two years of uprisings, the citizens of Montebodi managed to break the dominion of Ravenna and to conquer, under the protection of the Church of Rome, their independence. However, from the mid-thirteenth century to the mid-thirteenth century it passed under the dominion of its neighbor Jesi. Subsequently it was the turn of the Lords who alternated in power of this municipality until 9 June 1454, the date on which the citizens of Montalboddo drove out the last lordship and made an act of dedication to the Church. The new agreement was signed at Arcevia and the new Municipal Statute came into force, the fortress of the castle was demolished so that no lord would think of conquering it anymore.
