Monterubbiano, a hilltop village between the Aso valley and the sea

Monterubbiano's historic centre crowns a hill in the Fermo area of southern Marche, with views reaching the Adriatic on one side and the Sibillini mountains on the other. Below the village the hills are farmed with vineyards, olive groves and fields, and to the south lies the Aso valley. For the beach, work and services you head down towards the coast; Fermo is the provincial capital.

Homes for sale fall into two groups: brick houses in the old village, often on several floors with steep stairs, and farmhouses or small villas in the countryside, with land. In the village, parking, access and the state of the structure matter; in the countryside, the access road and the slope of the land, which the report measures at the address along with the official landslide maps.

The population is falling sharply. At the end of 2023, Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,002 residents, 14.8% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 49.4 and 30.9% of residents are over 65, against 26.8% for the province. Foreign residents make up 6.2%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average. The climate zone is E.

Monterubbiano is in seismic zone 2, like all 40 municipalities in the province of Fermo, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.179 g. For a building in the old village, ask whether it has had seismic upgrading and whether there are records of structural checks.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the building's land parcel.
