Pieve Torina, the upper Chienti valley towards the Sibillini

Pieve Torina lies in the upper Chienti valley, on the edge of the Sibillini mountains, in the mountainous interior of the province of Macerata. The municipality includes the village on the valley floor and many hamlets on the slopes, among pastures and woods. Camerino is the nearest town for the university, schools and services; Macerata is further away.

Homes are mostly stone and masonry buildings in the village and hamlets, with cold winters typical of climate zone E. After the 2016 earthquakes many buildings in the area were repaired or rebuilt and others are still awaiting work, so before making an offer ask whether the property has a reconstruction file and how far it has progressed.

There were 1,225 residents in 2023, 17.4% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.5 (47.2 in the province) and over-65s make up 29.2%. Foreign nationals account for 13.2% of residents. Average declared incomes are in line with the province of Macerata.

Pieve Torina is in seismic zone 1, the highest hazard class set by the Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile), as are 6 of the 55 municipalities in the province. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.229 g. For a new or rebuilt building, ask for the final structural inspection and documentation; for an older one, get an engineer's survey.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available: the report reaches the land parcel from the address and compares it with the official landslide and flood maps along the Chienti and its tributaries.
