The Department of Metauro, a union of territories created in in the wake of other Republic of French inspiration as the Cisalpine one. The Department of Metauro included Pesaro and Ancona, which was its capital. Its foundation caused the end of other local political realities such as the Government of the United Towns.
In particular, the Government of the United Towns had been created autonomously in the area of Ancona in and integrated in its territory the city of Macerata. The flag was abolished when the republic was merged into the Roman Republic on 7 March During the following decades, after the decay of the Napoleonic Empire and the Pontificial Restauration there were other attempts to create territorial realities led by Ancona.
The older part of town climbs a spur of rock rather high above the port — the view above is from the top of the spur, in front of the spectacular Romanesque cathedral of S. The town is finely situated on and between the slopes of the two extremities of the promontory of Monte Conero, Monte Astagno to the South, occupied by the citadel, and Monte Guasco to the North, on which the cathedral stands.
To the east of the town is the harbour the finest harbour on the SW coast of the Adriatic, and one of the best in Italy. It was originally protected only by the northern promontory, from the elbow-like shape of which Greek. However, in , just before the Neapolitan invasion, he was substituted by General Jean Charles Monnier. Commander and Chief of General Staff of Ancona Division were respectively Girard and De La Marre, but, sometimes, having to leave Ancona, in order to lead military actions, Monnier left the provisional command of the military place to his friend Michel Ange Bernard Mangourit, Commissioner for the foreign policies and later historian of the Ancona defense.
General Jean Charles Monnier was an effective military commander and an administrator. In this synthesis there is the whole Ancona adventure, an epic poem of that time. The treaty of Tolentino fixed a withdrawal of the French troops from the Marche Region, once the Papal government had paid what was established. Moreover, on the day after the signature of the treaty between France and the Habsburg Empire -October 17, , called Campoformio- Ancona would have been returned to the Rome Government.
