The Teatro della Fortuna is a music and theater venue (opera house) in Fano, province of Pesaro and Urbino, region of Marche, Italy. The present building is, in general, the result of at least two nearly complete reconstructions. A palace built in 1299 at this site housed the Palazzo del Podestà of Fano. It was converted into a theater by the scenographer and entrepreneur Giacomo Torelli between 1665 and 1677. In 1839, that theater was closed due to the deterioration in the architecture and replaced in 1845-1869 by a new opera house designed by Luigi Poletti. That theater was severely damaged and nearly burned down in 1944 due to bombardments during the Second World War. After a laborious restoration in 1998 the theater was reopened. In recent years, the theater has hosted visiting performances from the Rete Lirica delle Marche.The main hall, the Sala Poletti, recalls the Neoclassical-style of the Poletti-designed opera house, but updated in various forms. The ceiling has a concentric crown motive with a repainted copy of the original fresco of the Fasti di Apollo painted by Francesco Grandi. Grandi also designed the sipario or theater curtain that depicts the Entrance of the Emperor Caesar Augustus into the ancient Colonia Iulia Fanestris. Other less well preserved lunettes by Gioachino and Mariano Grassi are in the vaults of the first atrium. There are a few remnants of the 16th-century frescoes once found in the loggia of the Palazzo del Podestà. A second Verdi Hall is used for concerts, conferences, and cultural events; the auditorium was designed by architect Gianni Fabbri.

The Metauro is a river in the Marche region of central Italy. It rises in the Apennine Mountains and runs east for 110 kilometres (68 mi) or 121 kilometres (75 mi) if the Meta is included as its uppermost reach. The name of the river in Latin is Metaurus or Mataurus. In Ancient Greek, the name of the river is Métauros, Μέταυρος which stems simply from the union of the two torrents: Meta, running from the Apennine pass Bocca Trabaria, at an elevation of 1,044 metres (3,425 ft), and Auro, flowing from Monte Maggiore, at an elevation of 1,384 metres (4,541 ft). The source of the river is located near Monte dei Frati in the border region between the provinces of Pesaro e Urbino, Arezzo and Perugia. It flows east through Pesaro e Urbino near Mercatello sul Metauro, Sant'Angelo in Vado (where the river forms the Cascata del Sasso, "Waterfall of the Stone"), Urbania, Fermignano, Fossombrone (in whose territory it receives the waters of the Candigliano), and, after flowing into a tight valley, the Gola del Furlo, Montemaggiore al Metauro, from which it starts to flow in a plain area. The river flows northeast near Calcinelli, Saltara, Lucrezia, Cartoceto and Cuccurano before flowing into the Adriatic Sea near Fano.

The Battle of the Metaurus was a pivotal battle in the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, fought in 207 BC near the Metauro River in Italy. The Carthaginians were led by Hasdrubal Barca, brother of Hannibal, who was to have brought siege equipment and reinforcements for Hannibal. The Roman armies were led by the consuls Marcus Livius, who was later nicknamed the Salinator, and Gaius Claudius Nero. Claudius Nero had just fought Hannibal in Grumentum, some hundreds of kilometres south of the Metaurus river, and reached Marcus Livius by a forced march that went unnoticed by both Hannibal and Hasdrubal, so that the Carthaginians suddenly found themselves outnumbered. In the battle, the Romans used their numerical superiority to outflank the Carthaginian army and rout them, the Carthaginians losing 15,400 men killed or captured, including Hasdrubal. The battle confirmed Roman supremacy over Italy. Without Hasdrubal's army to support him, Hannibal was compelled to evacuate pro-Carthaginian towns in much of southern Italy in the face of Roman pressure and withdraw to Bruttium, where he would remain for the next four years.
