	Ascoli Piceno is a province capital in the Central part of Italy, in [http://~~wiki~~.~~couchsurfing.com~~/en/Marche Marche] region, it has 55,000 inhabitants ca. and about 150,000 with the suburbs. Ascoli was founded by an Italic population (Piceni) several centuries before Rome's founding on the important Via Salaria (Salaria Road) which connected Latium with the salt production area on the Adriatic coast. During the Middle Ages it was ravaged by the Ostrogoths and then by the Lombards of King Faroald (578). In 1189 a free republican municipality was established but internal strife led dramatically to the demise of civic values and freedom and to unfortunate ventures against neighboring enemies. This uncertain situation opened the path to foreign dictatorships, like those of Galeotto Malatesta (14th century), initially called as a mercenary (condottiero) in the war against Fermo, and Francesco Sforza.The latter was ousted in 1482, but Ascoli was compelled to submit again to the Papal suzerainty. In 1860 it was annexed together with Marche and Umbria in the Kingdom of Italy.
