Montegridolfo (Mun't Gridòlf) is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Rimini in the Italian region Emilia-Romagna, located about 130km (80miles) southeast of Bologna and about 20km (10miles) southeast of Rimini. It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3]
The municipality of Montegridolfo contains the frazioni (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Cabaldo, San Pietro, and Trebbio. Montegridolfo borders the following municipalities: Mondaino, Saludecio, Sant'Angelo in Lizzola, Tavullia.
In the Middle Ages Montegridolfo was a cassero (fortified burg, known from 1148) contended between the Montefeltro and Malatesta families. In 1137 it was largely rebuilt to its present state after a destruction by Ferrantino Novello Malatesta, who had allied with the Montefeltro. After a short period under Cesare Borgia, it was acquired by the Republic of Venice, which in turn ceded it to the Papal States in the early 1509 - 10.
During World War II, Montegridolfo was across the Gothic Line.
