For example: Via Sette Ponti 1, Castiglion Fibocchi.

Castiglion Fibocchi, on the Setteponti road below Pratomagno

The Setteponti road, the old route running along the lower slopes of the Pratomagno ridge, passes through Castiglion Fibocchi, one of the villages of the Arezzo side of the Valdarno. It stands at around 300 metres among olive groves, vineyards and woods climbing towards the ridge, with Arezzo about twenty minutes' drive away and the Arno valley floor below.

Buyers can choose between the old village, with stone and brick houses on narrow streets, newer detached houses on its edges, and farmhouses scattered across the hills, some restored and others waiting to be. For a farmhouse, access matters a lot, especially in winter, as do the roof and walls. Declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Arezzo.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,128 residents in 2023, down 4.1% on 2011. The mean age is 47.0, slightly below the provincial 47.6; over-65s make up 25.6% and foreign residents 10.0%.

The province of Arezzo has 24 municipalities in seismic zone 2 and 12 in zone 3; Castiglion Fibocchi is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.146 g. For a masonry building, ask whether strengthening work has been done, especially on the roof and the ties between walls and floors.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report traces the land parcel from the address and reads slope and the official landslide and flood maps for that spot.
