Avigliano Umbro, hills between Todi and Amelia and a fossil forest
In the hamlet of Dunarobba, within Avigliano Umbro, the trunks of a fossil forest stand in the clay: trees millions of years old, still upright and open to visitors. It is the best-known spot in the municipality, which is otherwise a hill village in southern Umbria, in the province of Terni, on the road between Todi and Amelia.
The landscape is classic cultivated Umbrian hill country: olive groves, arable fields, woodland and scattered farmhouses, with the main village and several hamlets spread across the area. Buyers find village houses, farmhouses to restore and newer detached homes. With isolated farmhouses, look closely at road access, water supply, drainage and whether extensions added over the years were permitted. For work and larger services, people go to Terni, Todi or towards Orvieto.
Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,347 residents (2023), down 8.6% from 2,568 in 2011. The average age is 48.6, almost the same as the province, and over-65s are 28.8%, exactly as in the province. Foreign residents make up 6.9%. Incomes are a little below the provincial average. There are 15 bars and restaurants and 3 schools.
Earthquakes are a real concern in Umbria. Avigliano Umbro is in seismic zone 2 under the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.155 g; in the province of Terni 4 municipalities are in zone 1 and 12 in zone 2. For a stone farmhouse, ask whether the walls and floors have been strengthened, what work was done and under which permits.
On clay hillsides the report checks the official landslide maps at the address, and along ditches and streams the flood maps. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality.
