For example: Via Ubaldi 1, Borgo Pace.

Borgo Pace, where the Metauro begins

At Borgo Pace two streams, the Meta and the Auro, meet to form the Metauro, the river that then crosses the whole province to the Adriatic. The village stands at around 470 metres in the upper valley, among the woods and mountains of the Apennines, at the foot of the Bocca Trabaria pass road leading towards Umbria and Tuscany.

It suits people looking for the Apennine mountains who can live with distances: Urbino and the larger towns of the valley can be reached by car, but everyday errands need planning. Cold winters (climate zone E) and stone houses call for attention to roofs, heating and damp.

The population decline is steep. In 2023 there were 522 residents against 643 in 2011, a fall of 18.8%. The average age is 51.5, above the 46.9 of the province of Pesaro and Urbino, and over-65s make up 33.9% (25.3% in the province). Foreign residents are 8.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 50 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection department's national scale. In Borgo Pace the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.213 g: for an old masonry house, ask what work has been done, when, and with what paperwork.

On the valley floor, near the streams, flood hazard needs checking; on the slopes, landslides. The report does this on the official maps for the exact address, after finding the land parcel on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, which are published for this municipality too.
