'''Montegridolfo''' ({{langx|rgn|Mun't Gridòlf}}) is a ''[comune](/source/comune)'' (municipality) in the [Province of Rimini](/source/Province_of_Rimini) in the [Italian](/source/Italy) region [Emilia-Romagna](/source/Emilia-Romagna), located about {{convert|130|km|mi}} southeast of [Bologna](/source/Bologna) and about {{convert|20|km|mi}} southeast of [Rimini](/source/Rimini). It is one of [I Borghi più belli d'Italia](/source/I_Borghi_pi%C3%B9_belli_d'Italia) ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").<ref>{{cite web|url=https://borghipiubelliditalia.it/emilia-romagna/|title=Emilia Romagna|access-date=31 July 2023|language=it}}</ref>

The municipality of Montegridolfo contains the ''[frazioni](/source/frazione)'' (subdivisions, mainly villages and hamlets) Cabaldo, San Pietro, and Trebbio. Montegridolfo borders the following municipalities: [Mondaino](/source/Mondaino), [Saludecio](/source/Saludecio), [Sant'Angelo in Lizzola](/source/Sant'Angelo_in_Lizzola), [Tavullia](/source/Tavullia).

==History==
In the [Middle Ages](/source/Middle_Ages) Montegridolfo was a ''cassero'' (fortified burg, known from 1148) contended between the [Montefeltro](/source/House_of_Montefeltro) and [Malatesta](/source/house_of_Malatesta) families. In 1137 it was largely rebuilt to its present state after a destruction by Ferrantino Novello Malatesta, who had allied with the Montefeltro. After a short period under [Cesare Borgia](/source/Cesare_Borgia), it was acquired by the [Republic of Venice](/source/Republic_of_Venice), which in turn ceded it to the [Papal States](/source/Papal_States) in the early 1509–10.

During [World War II](/source/World_War_II), Montegridolfo was across the [Gothic Line](/source/Gothic_Line).

==Main sights==
