MONTE ROBERTO E CASTELBELLINO:
two villages for a story ...
four steps is called two castles that every year the traditional event involving the municipalities of Mount Roberts and Castelbellino in celebration of May 1.
The appointment is renewed for the sixth time this year, with two days - 1 and May 2 - full of events, including entertainment shows, concerts, exhibitions, markets and food stalls.
Behind the civil aspect of the event, tied to the celebration of Labor Day, it hides a more profound: "4 Steps 2 castles" revives and adapts to modern times that historical and cultural bond that unites the two villages for centuries, separated only 500 m away. "Those of Monte and Roberto Castelbellino are two similar stories - said Riccardo Ceccarelli, Councillor for Culture of well-known local historian Robert Monte - Suffice it to say that in his first hundred - two hundred years of history, Monte Roberto was annexed to the castle Castelbellino the first to be organized. "
Can you briefly describe the origins of Monte Roberto?
"The transformation of the village in a real castle is in the thirteenth century, though an ancient document, with references to place names of the time, places the existence of an urban area as early as the first one thousand. The name "Monte Roberto" probably derives from loci dominus, a lord of the place, named Roberto, almost certainly of Germanic origin or Lombard. "
What were the relations with the neighboring Castelbellino?
"Initially, the original cluster of buildings of Monte Roberto was part of the territory of Castelbellino, then Morro Panicale. Then the two castles acquired independently of each other, although their stories, over the next eight centuries, it evolved into the countryside of Jesi. Certainly, however, the proximity of the two villages facilitated mutual influence, both in terms of cultural and artistic: it is no coincidence that the two villages there is an identity of works and a similarity of structures. For example, the architect Cuprensi Mattia Capponi (1720-1803) is the same who designed both the church of San Marco in Castelbellino than that of San Silvestro in Monte Roberto, both in the neoclassical style. Another interesting story involving, in the past, both municipalities and the theater .... "
What theater?
"In 1816, the two castles decided to give in life, together, for a theater that he found space inside the town hall in Monte Roberto: it was a small theater in the French, now unfortunately closed because yet restored. This theater was in operation, along with the band and the amateur dramatics, for about seventy years, staging dance performances, carnivals and plays. But in 1870-80, Castelbellino set up his own small theater and a Philharmonic Society, marking a break with art and music Monte Roberto. At the end of the nineteenth century, the theater was born to the will of both became a pants factory, in 1932, after some restoration work on the new life instead took Castelbellino "Beniamino Gigli."
Besides the theater, which are part of the rich artistic heritage - cultural Monte Roberto? "The town preserves some beautiful walls, partially restored after the earthquake of 1741, that demo there
third of the country. Beyond the medieval architectural forms, Roberto Monte also holds neoclassic buildings, coma Villa Salvati, Pianello Vallesina, and the parish church of San Silvestro, rebuilt in the second half of the eighteenth century, on a structure of the fifteenth century. Here are preserved, since 1828, a choir and two choruses and carved wood decorated eighteenth-century works of sculpture pesky Angelo, from Jesi and transported by the family in Monte Roberto Salvati. The church also houses two paintings by Stefano Casabona 1796, one of Anthony Sarti (1586-1647) and some big wooden artefacts of artistic value ... "
What kind of artifacts?
"This is for the most sacred objects of the period between the XVII and XIX, such as a house of Our Lady of Loreto, which is used during the processions, an artifact bi-face with an image depicting the skyline of Monte Roberto, just as it appeared in 600, a statuette of Anthony and more. All this will be exhibited from April 30 to May 9 at the Church of San Silvestro. Near the church of San Carlo, however, you can visit during the two-day event, images, music scores and small-format works of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi even smaller, unknown elements that provide a clue to understanding a more Vallesina important character. " The event "4 Steps 2 Castles", as well as a result of active cooperation between the two administrations could be interpreted as the modern expression of the historical link between Monte and Roberto Castelbellino and between the two villages and the rest of Vallesina.

What kind of artifacts?
"I believe that the party, created to celebrate the May 1, combining the two castles as well as it once was, calling him hundreds of people from all over the valley. It is an opportunity to visit the scenic and historical riches of the territory, sometimes niche treasures, but nevertheless important and worthy of being valorizzatie. My invitation to those who decide to take a walk between Monte and Roberto Castelbellino, is to see along the route of the castles, ancient olive trees that survived the time, are important evidence of attachment of the people in this land, producing oil and wine. "
"The festival stems from an initiative of the two administrations in order to promote the sense of solemnity civil, political and cultural of May 1. The goal, to impose the attention of citizens the theme of Labour Day and the usual moment of carelessness where families gather to spend a day outdoors. I think in times like these, characterized by the economic crisis and social change, this festival will also be a time to regroup and reflect on the current situation. "
