Corinaldo, intact walls between the Cesano and the Misa

You can walk almost the whole circuit of Corinaldo's walls, with their towers and gates, which are among the best preserved in the Marche region. Inside, the old town climbs and drops with flights of steps and alleys, including the long stairway leading to the Pozzo della Polenta, an old well. Saint Maria Goretti was born here, and the town has a sanctuary dedicated to her. Corinaldo sits on a hill between the Cesano and Misa valleys, about twenty kilometres from Senigallia and the sea.

For buyers, the old town and the countryside are two separate markets. Within the walls, houses often have several levels and little parking near the door; outside there are farmhouses, detached homes and newer areas along the roads down to the valley. Jobs and the bigger services are towards the coast around Senigallia, where the Adriatic railway and the A14 motorway run.

The town is ageing and losing people: 4,751 residents in 2023, down 7.0% on 2011. Over-65s make up 29.6%, above the 26.2% of the province of Ancona, and the average age is 48.5. Foreign residents are 5.6% and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 47 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2; in Corinaldo the expected ground acceleration is about 0.186 g, a medium to high value. In the brick buildings of the old town, ask what work has been done on roofs and floors and whether recent structural checks exist. The clay hills around are prone to landslides, and the report checks them at the precise address.
