Monte Vidon Combatte, a ridge in the hills behind Fermo
In the hills inland from Fermo almost every village sits on top of a ridge, and Monte Vidon Combatte is no exception: the centre is at around 390 metres, with houses gathered at the top and farmland falling away with arable fields, vines and olives. The Adriatic coast and Fermo are reached by car; for work many look to the towns in the nearby valleys and to the Fermo area's industrial zones.
The market is made up of houses in the old centre, farmhouses in the countryside and a few small villas. In the centre houses are built against each other on several floors; in the country what matters is the access road, the water supply and the state of farm buildings. In climate zone D winters are moderate.
In 2023 there were 399 residents, down 13.1% on 2011. The estimated average age is 50.0 (provincial figure 47.6), over-65s make up 30.3% and foreign residents 12.0%. Households average 2.19 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
All 40 municipalities in the province of Fermo are in seismic zone 2 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, and here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.176 g. Earthquakes therefore need considering: for a masonry house, ask what work has been done and whether there are repair or seismic improvement files, with the related paperwork.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and from the address the report finds the land parcel. On the clay hills of the Fermo area, landslide hazard is read on the official maps plot by plot.
