Piobbico는 Pesaro Urbino 지방에 있는 약 1800명의 주민이 사는 아름다운 마을입니다. Nerone 산과 Montiego 산 사이의 계곡에 위치하며, Biscubio 강과 Candigliano 강 두 개의 강이 교차하는 지점에 있습니다. Piobbico는 또한 '못생긴 사람들의 마을'이라고도 불리는데, 이는 19세기 말에 Piobbico의 젊은 여성들이 남편을 찾을 수 있도록 돕기 위해 설립된 '전국 못생긴 사람들의 협회' 때문입니다. 현재 약 3만 명의 회원이 있으며 매년 9월 첫째 일요일에 '세계 못생긴 사람들의 축제'가 열립니다. 이 축제는 이탈리아 중부 전역에서 유명하며 매년 정말 많은 사람들이 참여합니다.

The ruins of the Mondelacasa Castle (or Monte della Casa), called the Muracci, are located on the northern slopes of Mount Nerone, on the left bank of Val d'Abisso, at 707 m above sea level, about 1 km south of the historic center of Piobbico. (from COMUNE PIOBBICO 1999): Close to Mount Nerone stands a massive buttress whose base widens between the Biscubio torrent and the Petrello stream (Fosso di S. Maria) and carries the ruins of an ancient artifact on the summit. It was a castle, a primitive dwelling that the Brancaleoni, who arrived around the year 1000 in the Biscubio District, built and lived in until the mid-1300s. This is how our Costanzo Felici (1) describes it in a document from 1582:... climbing up to Monte Nerone a mile away on a rough and terrible hill and rock, there are vestiges of a superb, large and beautiful palace or fortress now in ruins, of which those (Brancaleoni) of Piobico were the owners. Built by Gentile Brancaleoni in the first half of the 13th century, it took the name of Mons Casa or Mondelacasa, today Muracci because of the ruins visible on the summit. Towards the middle of the 14th century, both because of the harshness of the place, difficult to reach when ... winter almost buried the tower under the snow, locked it under the grip of the ice, tormented it with the blizzard, confining it for months in isolation, and because of the need for other and more comfortable comforts, the two brothers Pazzo and Federico Brancaleoni decided to settle in the house that they had begun to build "in castro Plobici", on the hill to the right of the confluence of the Biscubio with the Candigliano, where there were already small houses piled up, that is, equipped with a watchtower with a Gothic arch portal to the north and a castle to the south-east. It is the place where the Brancaleoni Castle-Palazzo will develop and take shape over time. NOTE: (1) Costanzo Felici was born in the second decade of the 16th century in Casteldurante (now Urbania). However, he preferred to define himself as a native of Piobbico, where his ancestors had moved around 1330. He practiced medicine in Piobbico, Sant'Angelo in Vado, Pesaro, Rimini and Urbania. At the same time, he cultivated naturalistic and historical studies with notable results. He died in Pesaro on February 5, 1585. taken from: https://www.lavalledelmetauro.it/contenuti/beni-storici-artistici/scheda/11123.html

The history of Piobbico is connected to the history of the Brancaleoni count family, which dominated these districts for seven centuries, in fact the Brancaleoni Castle developed in successive periods, from 1200 to 1700. Its construction began as a fortress and then assumed, over the years, the appearance and grace of a Renaissance palace, full of frescoes, stuccos, fireplaces, writings in Latin, Greek and vernacular, dates and names, which allowed to reconstruct the architectural history of this large container (135 rooms). Going up the medieval village you arrive at the square where the clock tower stands. The tower rests on a pointed arch vault dating back to the 1200s, therefore prior to the construction of the first nucleus of the building, evidence of an old watchtower. Towards the end of the 16th century, a tower was erected above the vault on which two clocks were placed, one on the facade facing the town and one on the facade facing the San Carlo courtyard. On the entrance facade, next to the tower, you can admire an elegant loggia which, together with the balustrade, make the facade less massive, giving the whole complex a refinement that is more suited to a Palace than a Castle. In fact, this immense building (135 rooms) has developed over the centuries, through a series of interventions, expansions, until reaching the current structure in which the Renaissance features prevail, but also presents evident defensive and military security elements typical of the late Middle Ages.

The Castello della Pieve was built near an ancient pagan temple dedicated, according to tradition, to the God of the river Metauro. The Castle was built after the disintegration of the Roman Empire in the 12th century, it was fortified to defend the ancient Pieve d'Ico, current Mercatello sul Metauro. With its high towers in large stone ashlars, the armigers defended this noble land from the intrigues of errant knights and from the conspiracies of the powerful. The Medieval Castle thus played an important role in the military geography of Massa Trabaria, Guelph stronghold and Vassalla of the Holy See.
