Montegridolfo, a walled village where Romagna meets the Marche

On the last hill of the province of Rimini before the Marche region, Montegridolfo keeps a small fortified village, enclosed by walls and carefully restored, with a handful of streets inside. Around it the hills are planted with vines, olives and arable crops. The Riviera coast is close by car, as are the business and industrial areas of the coast and the Conca valley, where some residents work.

The houses inside the walls are few and unusual, often restored and subject to heritage rules on facades and building work. Most homes stand outside the old village: detached houses, terraces and restored farmhouses scattered over the hills. If you buy a farmhouse, check the condition of the structure and whether any extensions added over the years were properly permitted.

Montegridolfo had 981 residents in 2023, down 4.7% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. Its average age of 46.5 is practically the same as the province's (46.6), with over-65s at 23.6%. Households are relatively large, at 2.45 people on average, and foreign residents are 5.4%. Declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.

All 27 municipalities in the province of Rimini are in seismic zone 2, as classified by the Civil Protection Department. In Montegridolfo the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.185 g, a value that makes it worth asking, for any masonry house, whether structural work has been done and when.

Revenue Agency maps are available, and from the address the report finds the land parcel, the local price band and the official landslide and flood maps.
