history

The area around Cingoli was already in the 5th millennium BC. Settled. The Picenians lived there in Roman times , whose presence dates back to the 9th century BC. Can be traced back. Cingoli is roughly identical to the ancient Cingulum , which was founded by Picenum . The ancient city was where the Borgo San Lorenzo is today. Around 60 BC The city was strongly fortified by Titus Labienus , who was born there and one of Caesar's officers . Under Augustus the city became a municipality . In the early Middle Ages, the fighting between the East and the Goths, later the Lombards , caused destruction.

Probably between the late 4th and the second half of the 6th century, Cingoli became a diocese and remained so until 1725; In 1725 the diocese of Cingoli was united with the diocese of Osimo and was henceforth called the diocese of Osimo and Cingoli. The burial place of the early bishops was built outside the city walls in the later Collegiata di S. Esuperanzio .

Cingoli became increasingly dependent on Osimo, but the settlement became an independent municipality in the second half of the 12th century. The economic activity, and in its wake also the artistic, received strong impulses from the boom in long-distance trade across the Adriatic.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, there were changing coalitions between the local communities within the Marche. The Mainetti of Cingoli dominated the office of the local Podestà and continued to tie themselves to Osimo, but Ranberto Mainetti allied himself on behalf of his commune with Ancona, Recanati, Numana and Castelfidardo against Osimo, Jesi, Senigallia and Fano.

A few years later, Ancona, the most important city in the Marche region, got into an open conflict with Venice, which tried to direct trade towards the expanding metropolis. The dispute over the brands' main export products, namely grain, oil and wine, led to the blockade of Ancona in 1226. Venice made an alliance with the surrounding country towns. In addition to Osimo and its ports Numana, Recanati , Castelfidardo and Cingoli, Venice came closer to Fano , Senigallia and Fermo . The Venetians were also given freedom of trade in Rimini's territory . Finally, in 1229, Ancona had to recognize Venice's monopoly of trade in the Adriatic north of Ancona. All goods between Monte Gargano and Ancona could only be shipped to Venice or Ancona.

Rosary Madonna by Lorenzo Lotto , 1539

It was not until the 16th century that Cingoli achieved a renewed economic and urban boom, which was closely related to the boom in the diocese. The church of San Domenico in the Piazzale Munizipale is worth seeing because of the altarpiece of the Rosary Madonna by Lorenzo Lotto, dated 1539 . In 1829 Francesco Saverio Castiglioni, who came from a noble family from Cingoli, was elected Pope as Pius VIII . He was in French custody from 1808 to 1814. He then remained bishop in Cingoli until 1816. Elected in 1829, he died the following year, so that he only left the encyclical Traditi humilitati nostrae , in which he opposed Protestant Bible societies, secret societies (especially the Freemasons), the destruction of religion, and attacks on the sacrament of marriage and on ecclesiastical dogmas turned.
