The Town and Its Surroundings

The provincial capital, Fermo, lies to the north-east, and Ponzano di Fermo is a neighbouring hill village. Other small towns such as Monterubbiano and Montefiore dell’Aso are spread across the hills towards the coast.

Buying in Petritoli
Brick town houses and palazzi in Le Marche often need work on roofs, floors and structural ties, and the region is seismic, so ask for a structural assessment. A palazzo may also be listed, which brings heritage approvals for any changes.
Older properties in historic centres sometimes have several co-owners. A local geometra should go through the cadastral and planning records, and the notary should confirm that every owner is ready to sign.
