Comunanza is a comune (municipality) in the Province of Ascoli Piceno in the Italian region Marche, located about 70 km south of Ancona and about 20 km northwest of Ascoli Piceno. It is a typical medieval village along the Aso river, founded in the 5th or 6th century by families of Ascoli to escape barbaric incursions.
Comunanza borders the following municipalities: Amandola, Force, Montefalcone Appennino, Montefortino, Montegallo, Montemonaco, Palmiano, Roccafluvione. Sights include the late-Romanesque church of Sant'Anna, and that of Santa Maria a Terme, built in the 9th century in sandstone above a Roman temple which belonged to the disappeared Roman settlement of Interamnia Poletina Piceni.
