The term “ Rancia ” is probably a corruption of the word grancia , or granary , from the French grange, borrowed from the Latin granica. Built as a fortified farm in the mid-11th century, in the Rancia district, on the plain located to the left of the Chienti river, the Castello della Rancia was initially a sort of tower house with autonomous structures for the defense of agricultural products. Important dates to remember are May 2 and 3, 1815, days of the furious battle called “ della Rancia ” or “ Tolentino ” when the entire area became a battlefield between the French army of Gioacchino Murat, king of Naples and brother-in-law of Napoleon, and the Austrian troops of General Federico Bianchi. The importance of this event in the history of Italy is said to be considered the beginning of the Italian Risorgimento. It is currently owned by the Municipality of Tolentino and houses the Civic Archaeological Museum “Aristide Gentiloni Silverj”.

Statte Castle is an ancient fortification located on the slopes of Monte Letegge. It was built in the 12th century by the Bonifazi counts to control the Chienti and Potenza valleys. In the 16th century it was abandoned and dismantled, and is now being restored.

In the past this was dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene. Later, in the 18th century, it was assigned to the Augustinians instead. Currently the church is closed due to seismic events in 2016.

Coming from Caccamo towards Camerino, in the hamlet of Campolarzo there is a small clearing on the right and a small path that climbs the hill and leads to the ruins of the 13th century Rocca di Campolarzo. The path is not well maintained but it is worth a visit and enjoy the valley below.
