Monte Rinaldo, Fermo hills and a Roman sanctuary
Monte Rinaldo is a village in the hills behind Fermo, in inland Marche, at almost five hundred metres. Its territory includes an archaeological site with the remains of a Roman-era sanctuary, open to visitors. Around it is the typical Marche hill landscape of farmed fields, rows of trees and scattered houses; for services and work people head towards Fermo and the towns on the Adriatic coast.
Buyers here find village houses, country farmhouses and some rural buildings to restore, also chosen as second homes. On the Fermo hills the clay soils need care: cracks in walls, subsidence and drainage should be looked at before making an offer, and the report reads the official landslide maps at the address.
The population is falling: 314 residents in 2023, 83 fewer than in 2011, a drop of 20.9%, according to Istat, Italy's national statistics office. The estimated average age is 52.1 against 47.6 in the province of Fermo, and over-65s make up 35.4%. Foreign residents account for 8.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
All 40 municipalities in the province of Fermo are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, and in Monte Rinaldo expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.176 g, a medium value. With masonry farmhouses, ask whether checks or structural work were carried out after the recent earthquakes in central Italy, and what paperwork exists.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report identifies the land parcel from the address.
