Località Vallibbia, 1, Vallibbia

The cluster lies in the central Apennine hills and lower mountains, with steep wooded slopes and narrow agricultural valleys. Vegetation is typically beech and chestnut woodland interspersed with mixed pasture, small arable fields and isolated olive plots. The local hydrography is made up of small streams and minor tributaries of the central-Apennine river systems; no large river crosses the immediate area. Settlement is a scatter of small villages and hamlets connected by provincial and regional roads; towns offering a fuller range of services are not inside the immediate 15 km radius. The Monti Sibillini National Park and higher Sibillini ridges lie further to the south/southwest beyond the local 15 km area. The local economy is centered on forestry, small-scale agriculture and some rural tourism in neighbouring communes.
