Monte Giberto, a ridge-top village in the Fermo hills

Monte Giberto is one of the small hill municipalities inland from Fermo: a ridge-top village with its old centre up high and farmland falling away on both sides. The landscape is typical of the southern Marche, with cultivated hills, scattered farmhouses and roads that follow the crests. Fermo is the reference for work, secondary schools and hospital care, and the Adriatic coast is a drive away.

At the end of 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 727 residents, 88 fewer than the 815 of 2011, a fall of 10.8%. The average age is 49.2 against 47.6 in the province, over-65s are 29.0% and foreign residents 8.5%. Declared incomes remain below the provincial average.

Two kinds of home dominate the market: houses in the old centre, built against one another and often on several levels, and farmhouses in the countryside, large, with outbuildings and land. For the latter, check the condition of the brick walls, the roof, utility connections and the planning status of the outbuildings. This is climate zone D.

On earthquakes the picture is clear: all 40 municipalities in the province of Fermo are in seismic zone 2, and the expected ground acceleration in Monte Giberto is about 0.176 g. A brick farmhouse should be looked at by an engineer, paying attention to how the walls tie into the floors and to any repairs made after the recent tremors.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel, with the official landslide maps for the slopes.
