Gregory IX. it was made a city and the seat of the bishopric transferred from Osimo. This oscillation between Guelf and Ghibelline continued characteristic of Recanati. See also:Urban IV. abolished the " city " and bishopric; See also:Nicholas IV. restored them. See also:John XXII. again, in 1320, removed the bishopric and placed the city under See also:interdict. The interdict was withdrawn in 1328 on See also:payment of a heavy fine, but the bishopric remained in See also:abeyance till 1357. Gregory XII., who on his deposition by the See also:council of See also:Constance was made papal See also:legate of the See also:sees of Macerata and Recanati, died in this city in 1417. The assistance rendered by Recanati to the popes in. their struggles with the See also:Sforza seems to have exhausted its resources, and it began to decline. Considerable damage was done by the See also:earthquake of 1741; and the See also:French, who were twice in See also:possession of the city in 1797, pillaged it in 1799.
