Camerata Picena, hills between Ancona and the Esino valley

Camerata Picena is a small municipality in the hills behind Ancona, looking over the lower Esino valley, a short distance from the regional capital, from Jesi and from the coast at Falconara. The village sits on a hill, with the old core and newer houses running down the slopes.

Being close to Ancona and the valley roads has made it a choice for families who work in the city. Figures from Istat, the national statistics office, show it: 2,492 residents in 2023, up 3.0% since 2011, and a young population for the Marche, with an average age of 44.4 against 47.2 in the province and 19.9% over 65, against 26.2%. Foreign nationals make up 4.9%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

Buyers will mostly find detached and terraced houses and small apartment blocks from recent decades, plus a few farmhouses in the countryside. The climate is zone D, with mild winters. The hills of the Marche are made of clay: the slope of the plot, rainwater drainage and cracks in the walls are things to look at during a viewing.

Seismic hazard is significant. Camerata Picena is in zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 46 other municipalities in the province of Ancona, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.183 g. For a recent house, ask for the structural design; for an older one, ask whether seismic improvement work has been done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps are published and the report finds the land parcel. Near the Esino and on the slopes, the official flood and landslide maps are checked for each address.
