Monteflavio, a mountain village in the Lucretili hills

Monteflavio is a mountain village in the province of Rome, with its centre at around 800 metres in the Monti Lucretili, inside the regional park named after them. The landscape is woodland, pasture and footpaths, and the climate is that of the Apennines, with cold winters (climate zone E) and cool summers.

For daily commuting, Rome is a long way off: the roads wind down towards the Sabina hills and the Tiber valley, and work, hospitals and secondary schools mean a long drive. Buyers in Monteflavio are often after a summer or weekend house, or are returning to the family village. Houses in the centre are stone-built and packed together, with steps and steep lanes.

The population is older and shrinking. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,144 residents in 2023, 18.2% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 51.1 against 46.0 in the province, and 31.6% of residents are over 65, compared with 22.9%. Foreign residents make up 8.9%.

Monteflavio is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department scale, like 96 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.155 g. In stone houses it helps to know whether the roof and floors have been rebuilt, and with what materials.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On mountain slopes, landslide hazard and gradient are read on the official maps house by house.
