Civitella Paganico, Maremma hills and the Ombrone valley

Civitella Paganico covers a large area for a municipality of under three thousand people. It stretches across inland Grosseto province, through wooded hills, olive groves and pasture, with the Ombrone valley running through it. The two villages that give it its name are quite different. Civitella Marittima is up on the hill, while Paganico lies lower down, near the river and the road linking Grosseto and Siena.

For a buyer, the choice between hill and valley matters. On the hills you find stone houses, farms and country homes, often with land, suited to anyone looking for quiet or a second home in the Maremma. Lower down is the more practical side for getting to Grosseto and Siena. Near the Ombrone and the streams flowing into it, check the official flood maps, which the report reads for the exact address.

Istat, Italy's national statistics office, records 2,915 residents (2023), down 7.0% since 2011. The mean age of 48.6 is close to the provincial 49.1, and 29.0% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents account for 14.1%, a sizeable share partly tied to farm work.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3, shared with 15 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration is 0.139 g. With a farmhouse in need of work, the biggest costs are often the roof, the floors and the load-bearing walls: have a surveyor look at them before you make an offer.
