'''Tolentino''' ([[Central Marchigiano dialect|Maceratese]]: ''Tulindì'') is a town and ''[[comune]]'' of about 2019,000 inhabitants, in the [[province of Macerata]] in the [[Marche]] region of central [[Italy]].
 
It is located in the middle of the valley of the [[Chienti]].
 
==History==
[[ImageFile:Sarcophagus.jpg|left|thumb|Roman sarcophagus, in [[San Catervo, Tolentino|San Catervo]]]]
Signs of the first inhabitants of this favorable and fertile coastal zone, between the mountains and the [[Adriatic Sea|Adriatic]], date to the lower [[Lower Paleolithic]].
 
Numerous tombs, from the 8th to the 4th centuries BCE, attest to the presence of the culture of the [[Piceni]] culture at the site of today's city, Roman ''Tolentinum'', linked to Rome by the [[via Flaminia]]. Tolentinum was the seat of the [[diocese of Tolentino]] from the late 6th century, under the patronage of the local Saint Catervo. The urban commune is attested from 1099, assuming its mature communal form between 1170 and 1190, settling its boundaries through friction with neighboring communes like S. Severino and Camerino. From the end of the 14th century, the commune passed into the hands of the da Varano family and then the [[Sforza]], before becoming part of the [[Papal States]] until the arrival of [[Napoleon]].
 
The [[Treaty of Tolentino]] between NapoleonBonaparte and [[Pope Pius VI]] was signed in the city on 19 February 1797: this imposed territorial and economic strictures on the Papacy.<ref name="EB1911">{{Cite EB1911|wstitle=Tolentino|volume=26|page=1052}}</ref>
 
In 1815, at the [[battle of Tolentino]], [[Joachim Murat]] was decisively defeated by [[Frederick Bianchi, Duke of Casalanza|Frederick Bianchi]] at the head of Austrian forces, resulting in his abdication. Tolentino returned to papal control until [[Italian unification]] in 1861.
 
In the late 19th century industrial development decisively linked Tolentino economically to the rest of Italy.
 
==Geography==
The municipality borders with [[Belforte del Chienti]], [[Camporotondo di Fiastrone]], [[Colmurano]], [[Corridonia]], [[Macerata]], [[Petriolo]], [[Pollenza]], [[San Ginesio]], [[San Severino Marche]], [[Serrapetrona]], [[Treia]] and [[Urbisaglia]].<ref>{{OSM|r|42350|Tolentino}}</ref>
