Peglio, a hilltop village above the upper Metauro

Peglio is a small municipality inland in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche, in the area of the upper Metauro valley. The village sits on a hill, with the town hall at around 530 metres, looking over farmland and woods that slope down towards the river. For secondary schools, shops and health services the nearest town is Urbania, while Urbino and the coast are further away by car.

In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 646 residents, down 12.1% since 2011. The population's age profile is close to the rest of the province: the average age is 47.0, almost the same as the 46.9 of the province, and over-65s are 24.5% against 25.3% provincially. Households have 2.22 people on average. Declared income is below the provincial average.

Buyers will mostly find masonry houses in the village and farmhouses scattered through the countryside, often with land. With a farmhouse, allow for the unsurfaced access road, the water supply and heating costs, since the climate zone is E.

Earthquakes are the main issue. Every one of the 50 municipalities in the province is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, and in Peglio the expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.176 g. For a stone or brick building, find out what structural checks or work have been carried out, and under which council permits.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for the municipality: the report links the address to the plot and reads elevation, gradient and landslide hazard for that point.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 10 inhabited census areas in Peglio. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 62 or more.
