EspañolCINGOLI
'Cingoli' is a town and commune of the Marches, Italy, in the province of Macerata, about 27 km by road from the town of Macerata.
The town occupies the site of the ancient '''Cingulum''', a town of Picenum, founded and strongly fortified by Julius Caesar's lieutenant Titus Labienus (probably on the site of an earlier village) in 63 BCE at his own expense. Its lofty position (c. 650 m) made it of some importance in the civil wars, but otherwise little is heard of it. Under the Roman Empire it was a ''municipium''.
The Gothic church of 'S. Esuperanzio' contains interesting works of art.
