Sant'Angelo in Vado, the upper Metauro valley and truffles

White truffles have made Sant'Angelo in Vado famous, and every autumn the town holds a national truffle fair. It lies in the upper Metauro valley, inland in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, between Urbania downstream and Mercatello sul Metauro upstream, in wooded hills rising towards the Apennines and the borders with Tuscany and Umbria.

Its history runs deep. The Roman town of Tifernum Mataurense stood here, and the mosaics of the Domus del Mito survive from it; the painters Taddeo and Federico Zuccari were born here. The historic centre, with brick and stone palazzi and churches, runs along the river, surrounded by newer districts and small workshop areas. For buyers near the Metauro, the official flood maps matter, and the report reads them for the individual address, along with landslide hazard on the slopes.

In 2023 there were 3,883 residents, down 5.5% on 2011. The average age of 46.1 is slightly below the province (46.9), over-65s make up 25.4% and foreign residents 10.5%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes need to be taken into account. All 50 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2, and in Sant'Angelo in Vado the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.185 g. In the old-town houses, often built up against one another, ask whether the building has been strengthened and how walls and floors are tied together.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published: from the address, the report finds the building's plot.
