Monteverdi Marittimo, wooded hills in the far south of Pisa province
At the southern tip of the province of Pisa, where wooded hills run down towards the Maremma and the Livorno coast, Monteverdi Marittimo is a stone-built village with its town hall at about 360 metres. The municipality is large and thinly populated, made up of woods, scrub and farms. Within the municipality stand the ruins of the old abbey of San Pietro in Palazzuolo.
The market is that of Tuscany's inland villages: stone houses in the centre, often on several levels with steep stairs, and farms or farmhouses in the countryside, sometimes with a lot of land. With a farmhouse, check the access, which may be an unpaved road, the water supply, drainage and whether later additions are authorised. This is climate zone D. On the slopes, the report checks the official landslide maps for the address, and along the gullies the flood maps.
Monteverdi has grown: at the end of 2023 there were 794 residents, up 2.1% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. A sizeable share comes from abroad: foreign residents are 21.4%. The average age is 48.2, against 46.9 in the province, and over-65s are 27.8%. Average declared income is below the provincial average.
All 37 municipalities in the province of Pisa are in seismic zone 3; here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.104 g. In stone farmhouses, the most useful check concerns the roof and floors, often rebuilt at different times.
With the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, published for this municipality, the report traces the address to its land parcel.
