Aidomaggiore, the Guilcer district by Lake Omodeo

Aidomaggiore is a village in the Guilcer, the historic district inland in the province of Oristano that overlooks Lake Omodeo, the large reservoir on the river Tirso. It lies at around 250 metres, among fields, pastures and dry-stone walls, in an area rich in nuraghi, the Bronze Age stone towers typical of Sardinia. Ghilarza is the nearest town for services and schools, and from there the main road leads to Oristano or Sassari.

The village has lost residents: 382 in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, 19.1% fewer than the 472 of 2011, a drop of 90 people. The estimated average age is 50.9, close to the provincial 49.8, and over-65s make up 33.8%. Households average 2.11 people and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Homes are family houses, built of basalt stone in the older parts of the village, often with an inner courtyard. Buyers should look above all at the roof, damp in the walls and the services, and allow for summer heat: it is climate zone C, with mild winters and hot summers. The village has a few basic services; for the rest you go to Ghilarza.

Seismic risk is minimal: Aidomaggiore is in zone 4 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.050 g. Routine maintenance matters more than the structure.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report finds the land parcel from the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Aidomaggiore is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
