Tavoleto, hill country inland from Pesaro and Urbino
Between the Adriatic coast and the Apennines, inland in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, Tavoleto occupies a hill at around 400 metres, in a landscape of fields, olive groves and small woods. The old core is gathered on high ground, while newer houses and country homes spread across the slopes around it.
For work, many look to the coast and the industrial towns in the valleys; choosing to live here is often about space and quiet. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 831 residents at the end of 2023, down 7.0% on 2011. The average age is 47.7 (46.9 for the province), over-65s are 26.4% and foreign residents 9.0%. Declared average income is below the provincial figure.
On earthquakes, the key fact is that all 50 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification. In Tavoleto the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.178 g. A house built before recent seismic rules should be checked by a surveyor, and the seller asked for the year of construction, any extensions and structural work.
For a country house, the access road (often unsurfaced), water supply and drainage also matter. The climate zone is E.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published and the report links the address to its land parcel. On the slopes around the village, the landslide areas on the official maps are checked for the individual plot.
