Fano

Fano is an Adriatic coastal town in the Marche region of central Italy, where the ancient Via Flaminia reaches the sea. Its Roman name, Fanum Fortunae, came from a temple of Fortune, and Augustus founded a colony there; his arch still stands. After Byzantine rule the town was donated to the papacy in 754, was ruled by the Malatesta family from 1356, and returned to the Papal States. Pope Clement VIII was born in Fano, and the kabbalist Menahem Azariah da Fano was born there in 1548 and later lived in Reggio and Mantua.
