Monsampietro Morico, a village in the Fermo hills

The hinterland of Fermo is a succession of farmed hills, with a village on top of almost every rise and views stretching from the Sibillini mountains to the Adriatic. Monsampietro Morico is one of these villages, at around three hundred metres, with a small historic centre and houses scattered among fields and ridge roads.

For buyers, the village offers quiet and space at a reasonable distance from the coast and the larger towns of the province, where secondary schools, the hospital and jobs are. Homes are mostly brick buildings in the centre and country farmhouses, often in need of renovation; for an isolated farmhouse, check access, utility connections and the state of the roofs. Winters are moderate (climate zone D).

In 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 590 residents, 92 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 13.5%. The population is older than in the province as a whole: an average age of 50.1 against 47.6, and over-65s at 33.6% against 26.8%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average.

All 40 municipalities in the province of Fermo are in seismic zone 2; in Monsampietro Morico the expected ground acceleration is around 0.176 g. The hazard is medium to high, so for a masonry building ask whether any structural work has been done and have it checked by a surveyor before signing.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. On the clay hills of the Fermo area, slope stability changes from one spot to another: the report compares the house with the official landslide maps.
