Ripatransone (Marche)

Ripatransone is a town in the Province of Ascoli Piceno, in the Italian region Marche. The hill of Ripatransone has been inhabited since prehistorical times, and was settled first by the Umbri and then the Piceni. After the Roman conquest it lost importance, regaining it in the Middle Ages when several castles were built here, being unified into a single town in 1096. In 1205 it was a free commune, existing in particular rivalry with Fermo and against Francesco Sforza. In 1571 it was given the status of City and that of diocesan see by Pope Pius V. After the Renaissance it was part of the Papal States, becoming part of unified Italy in 1860. The town offers various cultural sights such as the Cathedral (Duomo), the medieval walls, the Romanesque church of San Michele Arcangelo, with some 15th- and 16th-century paintings and Palazzo Bonomi-Gera, housing the local museums.

What others are saying about Marche

Hello. I hope it is OK to post this enquiry here.  I am trying to trace my family history to Cupra Marittima . My great grandfather was Lou/Luigi Luciani believed to have been born around 1866. His father's name might have been Eugene, and his mother Maria Paccasassi.

We are retiring in two years from US and I read an article to reach out about best to leave money in US bank account. I may have consulting income after I receive social security in two years. Do I have to pay taxes in Italy on income too? Or on social security?
