Talamello, pit-aged cheese and the upper Marecchia valley

Until 2009 Talamello was in the Marche, in the province of Pesaro and Urbino; then, together with the other municipalities of the upper Marecchia valley, it moved to Emilia-Romagna and the province of Rimini. The village sits on a hill above the Marecchia valley and is known for its formaggio di fossa, cheese aged in underground pits, which here goes by the name Ambra di Talamello.

For buyers, Talamello is a hill village from which the coast and Rimini are reached by car down the valley, while the nearest town for everyday services is Novafeltria. Homes range from stone houses in the centre, on several floors, to newer detached houses built on the slopes. Climate zone E means winters colder than on the coast. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The population is steady: 1,064 residents in 2023, up 0.4% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.3 against 46.6 in the province, and over-65s are 26.9%, compared with 24.4% provincially. Foreign nationals make up 5.6%.

All 27 municipalities in the province of Rimini are in seismic zone 2. In Talamello the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.183 g. For a stone or masonry house in the centre, ask whether strengthening work has been done and see the paperwork.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the address back to the plot. The Marecchia valley has many clay slopes, so for a house on a hillside the official landslide maps should be read for the exact address.
