Montedinove is an Italian municipality with 442 inhabitants in the province of Ascoli Piceno in the Marche region. The town sits on a hill 561 meters above sea level between the Aso and Tesino valleys, on the slopes of Mount Ascensione. It is part of the Sibillini mountain community. The town, inhabited since the Picene era, welcomed the people of Ascoli seeking refuge from the Lombards in 578. Later, the territory was donated in 1039 by Longinus to the Abbey of Farfa, and it was the people of Farfa who built the fortifications to defend the town. In 1239, the town was besieged by King Enzo but managed to emerge victorious after two years. In 1279, the town became a free municipality, while in 1586, under Pope Sixtus V, it became part of the Presidiato di Montalto. In the following centuries Montedinove followed the fate of the Papal States and Italy.
