Montefiore Conca, the Malatesta fortress above the Conca valley
The Malatesta fortress towers over Montefiore Conca and can be seen from much of the Valconca, the valley of the Conca stream that runs down to the Adriatic near Cattolica. The village sits in the hills inland from Rimini, less than half an hour's drive from the coast, with a compact old centre gathered around the castle.
Two ways of living meet here. Some residents work on the Riviera or in Rimini and choose the hills for more space and a different price level from the coast; others want a country house or a holiday home. In the old village the houses are old masonry buildings, while the hamlets and ridge roads have detached houses and former farmhouses. On the slopes it is worth checking the official landslide maps, which the report reads for the address.
The municipality is growing. Istat, the national statistics institute, records 2,313 residents in 2023, up 5.4% since 2011. The average age is 44.7, lower than the 46.6 of the province of Rimini, and foreign residents make up 7.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
For earthquakes, all 27 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department scale, and the expected ground acceleration in Montefiore is 0.184 g. When buying a farmhouse or a building in the centre, ask about any structural work and have walls and floors inspected.
The climate is zone E, cooler than the coast in winter. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report reaches the plot.
