MOUNTAIN DEWS<br />
In 1300 Monte Vidon Corrado<br />
submitted to Fermo and the<br />
Popedom, to protect itself<br />
against plunders carried out by<br />
people from the surrounding<br />
villages or by mercenary<br />
troops. In spite of that, the village<br />
was attacked and plundered<br />
by the Count of Carrara;<br />
afterwards it was occupied by<br />
Carlo Malatesta in 1413 and<br />
Francesco Sforza in 1433. The<br />
village was involved in the historical<br />
vicissitudes of Fermo,<br />
and then of the near Montegiorgio.<br />
WORTH VISITING<br />
In the historic centre you can<br />
see beautiful houses with terracotta<br />
decorations (15 th century),<br />
elegant aristocratic<br />
palaces, remains of the ring<br />
walls with defence keeps (14 th -<br />
15 th century) and the parish<br />
Church of St. Vito Martyr, with<br />
the 18 th century Neoclassical<br />
façade and attached convent.<br />
Outside the historic centre it is<br />
possible to visit the Church of<br />
Madonna del Carmine and the<br />
rural Church of St. Giuseppe.<br />
SOMETHING MORE TO<br />
DISCOVER<br />
The village is the birth place of<br />
Osvaldo Licini, who is considered<br />
one of the most important<br />
exponent of European Abstractivism.<br />
After living in<br />
France for a while, the artist<br />
decided to come back to Monte<br />
Vidon Corrado, became town<br />
mayor and created most of his<br />
masterpieces, like Amalassuntas<br />
and Rebel Angels;<br />
The municipal administration<br />
laid out a study centre, dedicated<br />
to Osvaldo Licini, that hosts<br />
displays and exhibitions systematically.<br />
Manufacturing of straw, used<br />
to produce hats, has been traditionally<br />
practised in Monte Vidon<br />
Corrado since the 18 th century;<br />
the modern industrial<br />
production, including hat and<br />
accessories (buckles, buttons,<br />
an so on), plays an important<br />
role in the international fashion<br />
market.<br />
WORTH TASTING<br />
Amongst specialities we recommend:<br />
traditional sausages<br />
and salamis, vincotto (literally<br />
cooked wine), hand made pasta<br />
(tagliatelle) and cakes (calcioni<br />
with broad beans).<br />
SOMETHING TO DO<br />
The following sport facilities<br />
are available: a soccer field and<br />
an indoor multi-purpose sports<br />
centre.<br />
WORTH DISCOVERING<br />
The village is sited on a hilltop<br />
between the lower Tenna Valley<br />
and the upper Ete Morto<br />
Valley, about 30 km away from<br />
the sea. Just outside the historic<br />
centre are two municipal public<br />
garden areas. We recommend a<br />
historical and artistic tour<br />
across the narrow streets of the<br />
old borgo, to discover its<br />
charming architecture.<br />
