Description

The town's name derives, according to some historians , from the name of the Greek god Trea-Jana. Municipality in the province of Macerata, located upstream of the Potenza Valley, the village is a beautiful centre, that breaks through between the surrounding green hills, with its ocher colored walls and elegant buildings.
The first settlement was built by the Piceni in the year 380 B.C., later colonized by the Romans, it became a municipality in the II century B.C.

In the following period, the town submitted the domain of the Da Varano, of Francesco Sforza, of Alfonso of Aragon and of Cardinal Cesi. Thanks to Pope Pius VI, the village was recalled Treia and proclaimed City.
