Montottone can be found between these two, on a hill top at a height of 277m.
Up until the XV century it was called Mons Actonis (Mount of Attone) substitutedat a later date with the name of Montottone.
In the year 1191 pope Celestino III gave the temporal and spiritual command ao Montottone to the Benedectine monks.
In the year 1221 the patriarch of Acquileia donated the feudal caste of Montottone to the Bishop of Fermo, Peter IV.
In the 1397 the people of Montottone rebelledagainst the town hall of Fermo; then in 1405 it fell under the dominion of Ludovico Migliorati di Sulmona, and in 1425 it was held under siege by Malatesta of Cesena.
Following the death of the Migliorati they became subject to the Rector of the Church of Marca,and in 1433 this dominion passed on to Francesco Sforza. In 1537 with the fall of the governament of fermo, an ecclesiastic state was constituted at Montottone in the Agro Piceno, by pier Luigi farnese, and it was governed by tha Cardinal Raduccio Farnese. In this governement all the castles subject to Fermo and the town were reunited and for a good ten years it was the residence of various goverors.
The supremacy of all the nearby castles gave splendour and prosperity to Montottone.
As testimony to the important past,there are the remains of the powerfull caste walls, within which the village has remained pratically untouched.
