Maiolati Spontini, a hill village and Moie in the Esino valley

The municipality has two sides. Up the hill, at around 400 metres, is Maiolati, the village where the composer Gaspare Spontini was born and which later added his name to its own. Down on the floor of the Esino valley is Moie, which grew along the Vallesina road with newer houses, shops and businesses. Jesi is about twenty minutes away, and Ancona is reached by following the valley towards the sea.

This is the Castelli di Jesi area, home of Verdicchio wine, and the surrounding hills are covered with vineyards and arable fields. For a buyer the choice is fairly clear. The old village offers stone and brick houses, often old, with views and steep streets; Moie has flats and small detached houses on flat ground, handier for anyone working in the valley. The town is in climate zone E, and average incomes are a little below the provincial figure.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,982 residents in 2023, down 3.1% on 2011. The average age of 47.8 is slightly above the provincial 47.2, and over-65s account for 27.4%. Foreign residents make up 6.7%.

All 47 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 under the Civil Protection classification, and in Maiolati Spontini the ground acceleration expected in the built-up area is about 0.178 g. That is a medium to high hazard. For a house in the old village, find out how the roof is built, whether the walls have steel tie rods and whether any strengthening work has been carried out.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report works back to the land parcel from the address. On the valley floor near the river and on the hillsides, flood and landslide hazard varies from one street to the next and is checked for the individual house.
