Angrogna, the side valley above Torre Pellice

Angrogna fills a side valley of the Val Pellice, the valley of the Angrogna stream, which climbs behind Torre Pellice. It is one of the key places in Waldensian history, the Protestant church rooted in these valleys: at Chanforan, in the sixteenth century, the synod was held at which the Waldensians joined the Reformation, and old churches and hamlet schools still stand. The municipality has no single centre but many hamlets spread across both slopes, with the town hall at about 780 metres.

That layout decides a lot for a buyer. The lower hamlets are close to the valley floor and Torre Pellice; the higher ones are isolated, with narrow roads that can be snowbound in winter. Many houses are stone-built with stone-slab roofs, to be checked for insulation and the state of the roof: this is climate zone F. Slopes and landslide hazard have to be read for the individual address, and the report does this with the official maps.

At the end of 2023 there were 806 residents, down 7.4% since 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.7, against 47.4 in the Turin metropolitan area, over-65s are 25.1% and foreign residents 3.7%. Average declared income is below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, Angrogna is in zone 3, like 270 other municipalities around Turin, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.135 g. Before buying a stone house, ask a surveyor how the walls, floors and roof are tied together.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Angrogna is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.135 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
