Agugliano, the residential hill behind Ancona

Agugliano is one of the hill towns where people live while working in Ancona. The old centre sits on top of a hill at around 300 metres, south-west of the city, looking out over Marche hills planted with wheat and sunflowers; lower down, districts of detached houses and small blocks of flats have grown up, and the municipality also includes the hamlet of Castel d'Emilio.

Ancona, its port and the industrial area are about twenty minutes by car, which is what made the town grow in recent decades. Buyers choose between houses in the old village, with lanes, steps and little parking, and newer homes with gardens. Declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.

The population has stopped growing, though. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 4,629 residents in 2023, down 4.9% on 2011. The average age is 46.3, below the 47.2 of the province, and over-65s make up 23.2% against 26.2% provincially, so the population is younger than average. Foreign residents account for 4.8%.

All 47 municipalities in the province of Ancona are in seismic zone 2. In Agugliano the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.183 g, so for a building in the old centre or a block of flats built before current standards, ask for the design date and details of any structural work. The clay hills of the Marche shift easily after rain, and the report checks the official landslide maps for the address.
