history

In Fabriano, then part of the Papal States, the first paper mill on European soil was founded in 1276 .

After Italy entered the war in June 1940, the fascist regime set up an internment camp ( campo di concentramento ) in Fabriano . It was located in the Collegio Gentile , a religious house on Via Cavour. The inmates belonged to two categories: initially only “dangerous Italians”, later increasingly “ex-Yugoslavs”. Most internees left the camp between July 25 and September 8, 1943, but the camp reopened during the RSI . On February 19, 1944, 120 inmates were handed over to the German occupation troops and transferred to the Calvari di Chiavari camp.
