History
The Monte was founded in 1555 by the lord of Matelica Antonio Maria Ottoni. There are no available studies concerning the history of the institution and it is thus not currently possible to rebuild its history. The Monte ceased its activity on 9 November 1940, when its incorporation in the Monte di credito su pegno di Macerata was sanctioned.

The archive of the Monte is preserved inside the Archivio storico comunale. It is not currently possible to define its dimension and chronological fram. It is however certain that at least a register of pawns is preserved related to the institution's early activity (1555-1623)
