Musso City: an Italian location with two boroughs
Hello friends! Today I will talk to you about Musso City, an Italian location composed of two boroughs that are conurbated to each other. The first borough is located within the municipality of Montecassiano and is about 4.5 km away from the town hall, while the second is located in the municipality of Recanati. The area is crossed by the provincial road 77 (Val di Chienti) and has an interesting history. Come with me to discover Musso City!
History: from Eneolithic communities to the Sambucheto Massacre
The history of Musso City has ancient roots. In this area, evidences of funeral areas dating back to the Copper Age have been found, when some communities that practiced a complex cult of the dead lived here. In the following centuries, the area underwent various dominations, until the first modern urban agglomerations were born in the early 20th century. In 1932, the church dedicated to Teresa of Lisieux was built, which is still part of the heritage of the territory.
However, not everything was rosy. In 1996, Musso City was the scene of a terrible episode, the Sambucheto Massacre. On that occasion, in the context of a fight between rival factions for the control of the drug market, three people lost their lives in what was a tragic and shocking event for the entire community.
Sports: the sports scene of Musso City
As far as sports is concerned, Musso City enjoys various opportunities thanks to its geographical position. In particular, for football enthusiasts, I would like to point out that the area is very connected to the Montecassiano football team, the San Marco. The team is very followed and represents one of the pillars of the sports life of the territory. In addition to football, the area offers many opportunities for outdoor sports, thanks to the beautiful surrounding landscapes.
