Belforte del Chienti Italy

Belforte del Chienti is a comune (municipality) in the province of Macerata in the Italian region Marche, located about 80 kilometres (50 mi) south of Ancona and about 50 kilometres (31 mi) southeast of Macerata. The name of the town derives from the happy geographical position and indicates precisely a "Bel Forte" or "beautiful fortress". The castle built in the twelfth century was immediately part of the jurisdiction of Camerino until 1255 when it allies with Tolentino to surrender to the latter city in 1256. The official passage to Tolentino took place under Henry II Ventimiglia in 1260. In 1435 Belforte was annexed to the domains it already had in the Francesco Sforza area.
