Piandimeleto, the Oliva counts' castle in the Foglia valley

The castle of the Oliva counts still dominates the centre of Piandimeleto, a village in the upper Foglia valley in Montefeltro, the inland part of the province of Pesaro and Urbino. Around the old core the village has spread over the valley floor, with newer houses, some businesses and fields rising towards hills and woods. Urbino and the towns of the valley are the reference for secondary schools and hospital care, while the coast is a drive down along the Foglia.

The market offers houses in the old centre, often on several levels, detached homes and small blocks on the valley floor, and farmhouses in the hills. The valley floor is more convenient for services and roads; the hills give space and views but longer access in winter. Near the river and ditches, read the official flood maps, which the report shows for the address, and on the slopes the landslide maps.

Istat, Italy's statistics office, counts 2,021 residents in 2023, down 5.8% since 2011. The average age is 45.3, below the provincial 46.9, 24.2% are over 65 and foreign residents make up 13.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Piandimeleto is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.179 g in the built-up area. For stone or brick houses in the centre, ask whether strengthening work has been done and under which permits, and for farmhouses have the roof and the ties between walls checked. This is climate zone E, with cold inland winters.

The Revenue Agency's cadastre is published, and the report traces the address back to its plot.
