Matelica, Medieval commune in Province of Macerata, Italy
Matelica stretches along the valley where Braccano creek meets Esino river, with Mount Gemmo and Mount San Vicino framing the eastern and western horizons.
The settlement gained status as a Roman municipium in 70 BC, later experiencing Byzantine rule and becoming a free municipality in 1160 under the Holy Roman Empire.
The Piersanti Museum houses an extensive collection of regional artworks while the Piermarini Theater, opened in 1812, contains Roman bath remains beneath its stage.
The town lies 60 kilometers southwest of Ancona and 35 kilometers west of Macerata, covering 81 square kilometers at 354 meters above sea level.
The Matelica Globe, discovered in 1985, represents a two-thousand-year-old sundial crafted from Greek marble, designed for the specific latitude of this location.
