Montegridolfo

Situated halfway between the Conca Valley of Emilia-Romagna and the Foglia Valley of the Marches, Montegridolfo has been a transit region since the Middle Ages, thus standing out as the main cause of the fierce fighting between the most important ruling families of that age: Malatesta and Montefeltro. Because of the numerous fighst it hosted, Montegridolfo's village was given a keep (tower reinforcement) and impressive walls in order to protect local inhabitants. Its well-preserved old town gathering charming medieval buildings and the extensive renovation works which were carried out here make Montegridolfo a fascinating village; it is also renowned all over Italy for the ancient oil tradition it retains.
