Mombaroccio, the walled village in the hills behind Pesaro

The castle walls still enclose the centre of Mombaroccio, a village in the hills inland from Pesaro, at about three hundred metres, with sea views on clear days. Around it are fields, olive groves and woods, with small hamlets scattered about. Pesaro and Fano are the reference towns for work and services, both a short drive away.

People buying here want the hills close to the coast. Inside the walls there are brick houses, often small and on several floors; outside, country farmhouses and detached homes along the ridge roads. With farmhouses, check access, the slope of the land and the state of the structure, since many have been renovated at different times. The climate zone is E.

According to Istat, the Italian national statistics office, there were 2,091 residents in 2023, down 2.0% on 2011, a modest fall. The average age is 46.6, in line with the 46.9 of the province of Pesaro and Urbino, and over-65s make up 22.7%. Foreign residents account for 9.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 50 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2, and here the expected ground acceleration is 0.185 g. For an old masonry house, ask whether it has had seismic improvement work and have the walls and floors checked.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: the report finds the plot from the address and shows the official landslide maps, useful on the clay slopes of these hills.
