 In December 1263, Sant'Angelo in Pontano becomes free commune, but after a few years it submits to the city of Tolentino, and subsequently to Fermo.In the mid-fourteenth century, following the attempt of Cardinal Albornoz to reduce the castles of the Marca under the dominion of the Pope, Sant'Angelo underwent the siege and conquest by the papal troops.In 1413 it was owned by the Da Varano family and then returned to Fermo, twenty years later, following the campaign of Francesco Sforza.
