Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the historical and geographic boundaries of the Marca d'Ancona, a papal territory in central Italy. The author meticulously traces the evolution of the region's borders from ancient times to the pontificate of Pope Sixtus V in the late 16th century. The book draws on a wealth of primary sources, including papal bulls, conciliar records, and geographical treatises, to shed light on the complex history of this contested territory. The author demonstrates that the Marca d'Ancona encompassed not only the city of Ancona but also the Duchy of Urbino and other territories. This challenges the traditional view that Urbino was not part of the Marca d'Ancona. The book also explores the administrative and political structures of the Marca and the relationship between the papacy and the local nobility. This book is a valuable contribution to the study of papal territories in Italy and provides a deeper understanding of the historical geography of central Italy.
