Cagli, on the Via Flaminia between Catria and Petrano

The ancient Via Flaminia still runs through Cagli, now alongside the dual carriageway linking the coast at Fano with Umbria. The town lies in a basin of the Marche Apennines where the Bosso and Burano streams meet, between Monte Petrano and the Catria range. The historic centre is compact, with its square, the municipal theatre and the round tower designed by Francesco di Giorgio Martini.

The municipality is very large, one of the biggest in the Marche by area, and much of it is woodland, pasture and hamlets scattered across hills and mountains. The options for buyers are far apart: flats and family houses in the centre, farmhouses and small villages reached by narrow roads, where winter snow and the distance from services count. Urbino and Fano are both under an hour away.

The population is falling sharply: 7,949 residents in 2023, 11.8% fewer than in 2011, which means 1,064 people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 49.2, against 46.9 in the province, and over-65s make up 29.8%, well above the provincial 25.3%. Foreign residents account for 7.2%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Pesaro and Urbino are in seismic zone 2; in Cagli the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.177 g, a medium to high value. If you are buying a stone house in the centre or a farmhouse, ask what structural work has been done and under which permits, and have the floors, roof and wall connections checked.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report traces the plot from the address. Along the Bosso and Burano the flood maps matter, on the slopes the landslide maps: in such a varied municipality they have to be read house by house.
