Montegridolfo is a small town in the province of Rimini, located on the border with the Marche, along the ridge that divides the Valley del Conca from the Valley del Foglia. It seems that originally the name was Monte Loro, for the conspicuous presence in the area of laurel trees, turned, later, into Montegridolfo, with the arrival of the powerful noble family of Rimini "Gridolfi" which, in the XIII century, settled in these lands between Marche and Emilia Romagna.
Mentioned for the first time in a document dated 1148, between the XIII and XIV centuries the castle Montegridolfo was repeatedly looted and damaged, during the clashes between the troops of the Malatesta and those of Montefeltro, for disagreements within the same family of Malatesta. Over the centuries, the town submitted the domain of the Malatesta, the Montefeltro, the Borgia, the SerenissimaRepublic of Venice and the Papal States. In 1769, Friar Lorenzo of Montegridolfo became Pope with the name of Pope Clement XIV. After the Napoleonic period, the domain returned to the Church and in 1859, the town was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.
