Scheggia e Pascelupo, the Via Flaminia and Monte Cucco
Before dropping down into the Marche, the ancient Via Flaminia runs through Scheggia, the main village of this municipality in north-eastern Umbria. The territory is mountainous and wooded: it includes part of the Monte Cucco regional park and the more isolated hamlet of Pascelupo. Gubbio is the town people turn to for work and services.
House hunters will find two different settings. Along the Flaminia are the village houses, practical for anyone who drives; in the hamlets and on the slopes, stone buildings prevail, often old farmhouses in need of work. Winters are cold (climate zone E) and heating is a real part of running costs.
The population has fallen by 13.7% since 2011: there are now 1,244 residents (2023) against 1,442 at the census of Istat, the national statistics office. It is an older community, with an average age of 50.9 against 47.4 for the province of Perugia, and over-65s at 31.6%. Foreign nationals account for 5.1%.
The Apennines between Umbria and the Marche are seismically active. Scheggia e Pascelupo is in seismic zone 2, like 43 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.196 g. Before buying a masonry building, ask whether it has had seismic upgrading work and whether that work is on file at the town hall.
The report uses the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, published for the whole municipality, and checks slope, landslides and flooding along streams for the exact address. It also shows how far the pharmacy, school and shops are from the house.
