San Paolo di Jesi, a Verdicchio hill village in the Vallesina
San Paolo di Jesi is one of the Castelli di Jesi, the fortified hill villages of the Vallesina that give their name to Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi wine. The centre sits on a hill at about 220 metres, with vineyards, olive groves and wheat fields on the surrounding slopes, and Jesi, with its station, hospital and secondary schools, is the local hub. Ancona and the coast are reached via the floor of the Esino valley.
Homes for sale range from brick buildings in the old core to detached houses on the hills and country farmhouses. In the historic centre, check access, parking and stairs; for a farmhouse, the connection to mains water and sewer and the condition of the roofs. The climate is zone D, with winters that are not harsh.
The population is holding up: 893 residents in 2023, 1.0% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics institute. The village is slightly younger than the province, with an estimated average age of 46.4 against 47.2 and over-65s at 25.5% against 26.2%. Foreign residents are 12.8%. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average.
All 47 municipalities in the province of Ancona are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, and here the expected ground acceleration is about 0.177 g. For a masonry building in the centre, ask whether it has been strengthened and under which permits; for more recent buildings, ask for the date of the structural design.
On the clay hills of the Vallesina, landslide hazard varies from slope to slope, and the report checks it on the official maps for the address. The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps.
