Monteleone di Fermo, a hilltop between the Tenna and Aso valleys

The hills around Fermo run down to the Adriatic in a series of parallel ridges separated by river valleys. Monteleone di Fermo sits on one of them, between the Tenna and Aso valleys, above four hundred metres, with the village gathered on top and farmland on the sides. Fermo and the coast are where people go for work, secondary schools and services, far enough to need a car.

The village is small and elderly. In 2023 there were 350 residents, 86 fewer than the 436 of 2011, a fall of 19.7% according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 53.9 against 47.6 in the province of Fermo, and over-65s make up 36.9%, against 26.8%. Foreign residents are 9.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Houses are mostly brick and stone, both in the centre and in farmhouses scattered across the countryside. The Marche hills have clay soils, and on the slopes landslide hazard needs checking: the report reads it on the official maps at the exact address. With a farmhouse, also check access, utility connections and the roof.

Earthquakes concern the whole province: all 40 municipalities around Fermo are in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale. In Monteleone expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.176 g. After the earthquakes that struck inland Marche in recent years many houses have been repaired or strengthened, so asking what work was done and seeing the documents is a normal part of negotiating.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Monteleone di Fermo, and the report links the address to its land parcel.
