Lunano, the upper Foglia valley in Montefeltro

Lunano lies in the upper valley of the river Foglia, in Montefeltro, the inland part of the province of Pesaro and Urbino. The village sits on the valley floor at just under 300 metres, surrounded by farmed and wooded hills. Next to the houses there are workshops and small factories that also employ people from neighbouring villages. Urbino is the reference town for secondary schools, the university and services, and the coast is a drive down the valley.

The population here is younger than the provincial average: an average age of 43.6 against 46.9, with over-65s at 20.6% against 25.3%. Foreign residents make up 14.2%. In total there were 1,427 residents in 2023, down 6.6% on 2011. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

On the valley floor, buyers should look at the distance from the river and from industrial areas, while on the slopes gradient and access matter. The report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the address and measures the distance to schools, the pharmacy and shops.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Pesaro and Urbino are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, and expected ground acceleration in Lunano's built-up area is 0.175 g, a medium value. For a masonry house or a building put up before recent standards, ask for the design date, any structural surveys and the work carried out.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel.
