Premilcuore, in the upper Rabbi valley

Premilcuore lies in the upper valley of the Rabbi, a river that rises on the ridge of the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines and runs down to Forlì. The village, at around 450 metres, is a tight cluster of stone houses along the valley floor, with woods and pasture all around; part of the municipal area falls within the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park.

Daily life here depends on the car. Secondary schools, the hospital and most jobs are further down the valley, and in winter the road along the Rabbi is something to factor in. Buyers will mostly find old stone houses, often on several floors with steep internal stairs, plus a few newer buildings on the edge of the village. Homes close to the river or below the steeper slopes need looking at individually: the report checks the address against the official flood and landslide maps.

There were 688 residents in 2023, 115 fewer than in 2011 (down 14.3%). The estimated average age is 53.0, against 46.8 in the province of Forlì-Cesena, and over-65s make up 37.4%. Households are small, 1.92 people on average. Bars and restaurants, 13.08 per 1,000 residents against 5.97 in the province, rely partly on walkers and holidaymakers.

Every one of the province's 30 municipalities is in seismic zone 2 under the Civil Protection classification, and the expected ground acceleration in Premilcuore's built-up area is about 0.209 g. With a stone-walled house, ask whether the roof has been redone and with what materials, and whether any strengthening work has been filed with the town hall.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here too, so the report can go from the address to the land parcel and the building.

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.
