Anagni, the city of the popes above the Sacco valley

Anagni is known as the city of the popes: in the Middle Ages it was the birthplace of several pontiffs, Boniface VIII among them, and the scene of the famous slap that marked the end of his papacy. The old town stands on a hill at around four hundred metres above the valley of the river Sacco, in the northern part of the Ciociaria area, and its cathedral has a crypt covered entirely in frescoes.

The upper town and the valley are two different worlds. Up top is the medieval centre, with stone houses, narrow alleys and little parking; down below, along the Via Casilina, the A1 motorway with its Anagni-Fiuggi junction and the Rome to Cassino railway, are the industrial estates and the newer districts. Rome can be reached by train from Anagni-Fiuggi station in the valley, and many residents work in the local plants.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 20,627 residents in 2023, down 3.8% since 2011. The average age is 46.0, with over-65s at 24.2%, a little below the province, and foreign nationals at 6.1%. Schools (28), healthcare sites and supermarkets are more common per resident than the provincial average, and declared incomes are higher than in the rest of the province of Frosinone. Recorded green spaces, on the other hand, are lacking.

The province of Frosinone has 30 municipalities in seismic zone 1 of the Civil Protection classification. Anagni is in zone 2 with 58 others, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.149 g. For a stone house in the old town, ask whether it has been strengthened and whether the roof was rebuilt and properly tied to the walls; for the blocks in the valley, ask for the construction date and the structural inspection certificate.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps. On the sides of the hill the report checks landslide hazard, and in the valley flooding near the Sacco and the ditches that feed it.

For anyone buying in Anagni, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
