Monte San Martino is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Macerata in the Italian region Marche, located about 70km south of Ancona and about 30km south of Macerata. There are 808 people in the village. The economy is mostly based on agriculture. The city houses artworks by Vittore and Carlo Crivelli, Girolamo di Giovanni da Camerino and Vincenzo Pagani. The Monte San Martino Trust was founded in 1989 by J. Keith Killby, a former prisoner of war at Servigliano nearby, together with other veterans of the Second World War. The Trust awards English-language study bursaries to Italians, aged 18 to 25, in recognition of the courage and sacrifice of the Italian country people who rescued thousands of escaping Allied PoWs after the Armistice in 1943.
