The town is situated at 154 m. above sea level on an alluvial terrace near the con Fluence of the Castellano and Tronto rivers, about 30 km. from the Adriatic coast.
It was founded by the Piceni and conquered by the Romans in 286 BC. However, a rebellion broke out in 91 BC. at the time of the Social Wars, but was quelled two years later.
After the fall of the Roman Empire, Ascoli Piceno was ruled by the Lombards until 774, when the Franks gave it to the Church.

Equally distant from Ascoli and from San Benedetto del Tronto (about 24 Km.), Castignano's hills display the typical landscape of slopes carved by centuries of erosion, a phenomenon which shapes the calanchi.
One of the most important farm products is the Pimpinella anisinum, from which the essence of anise is extracted to prepare a famous local alcoholic drink, the Anisetta Meletti.
