Camerano, the caves under the town behind Monte Conero

Beneath the old centre of Camerano runs a network of caves dug into the sandstone over the centuries, linked together and partly open to visitors. They are what the town is best known for, along with the Rosso Conero vineyards covering the hills around it. Camerano lies behind Monte Conero, south of Ancona, and part of its land falls within the Conero regional park.

The municipality has a hilltop centre at about two hundred and thirty metres and a lower part towards the Aspio valley, where warehouses, shops and the roads to the A14 motorway and the coast are concentrated. Ancona, its port and the beaches of the Conero Riviera are close, and many see Camerano as a quiet place to live within easy reach of the city.

There are 7,064 residents, down 2.1% since 2011, with an average age of 46.9, practically the same as the province. Over-65s are 26.1% and foreign residents 4.9%, and incomes are in line with the province of Ancona. The town is well equipped for sport: Overture Maps lists 17 facilities, 2.41 per 1,000 residents against 0.96 in the province.

All 47 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification; in Camerano the expected ground acceleration is about 0.179 g. The Ancona coast has had strong earthquakes too, so if you are buying in the old centre or in a 1970s block of flats, ask for whatever structural assessments exist.

The caves themselves are a very local issue. In parts of the centre the ground underneath has been hollowed out, and before heavy building work or a purchase it is worth knowing what lies below the house. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report checks landslide and flood hazard for the address.
