The Battle of Castelfidardo was fought on 18 September 1860 near the town of Castelfidardo in the Marche region. It was an engagement between the Royal Sardinian Army and the army of the Papal States during the Piedmontese invasion of the Papal States. The battle resulted in a Sardinian victory, preventing the Papal forces from reaching the fortress of Ancona and leading to the subsequent annexation of the Marche and Umbria into the Kingdom of Sardinia.
