Monte San Pietrangeli, a Fermo hilltop between valleys

Monte San Pietrangeli is a village in the hills around Fermo, in the southern Marche, built on a rise at around 240 metres with farmland all around. Fermo and the Adriatic coast are a short drive away, and many residents work in the towns and businesses of the area.

The old centre has brick houses built tightly against each other, often on several floors; outside the walls there are detached houses, farmhouses and small residential areas. Buyers have to choose between the convenience of the newer areas and the character, and the work, of the old houses. The data list 3 school sites and 2 supermarkets.
