Bagno di Romagna, spa waters and the upper Savio valley
In the upper Savio valley, close to the ridge that separates Romagna from Tuscany, Bagno di Romagna lives on thermal springs, forests and tourism. The municipality includes the spa village of Bagno and, further down the valley, San Piero in Bagno, as well as hamlets scattered across the mountains. Part of the area lies within the Casentino Forests National Park.
The E45 road runs up the valley, linking the town to Cesena on one side and Umbria on the other, and makes commuting possible. At around 500 metres winters are cold (climate zone E), and heating a mountain house is a real cost. Tourism shows in the data: 63 bars and restaurants, 11.29 per 1,000 residents against 5.97 in the province, plus hotels tied to the spas.
Like many Apennine towns it is losing residents: 5,579 in 2023, down 9.1% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 49.2 against 46.8 for the province of Forlì-Cesena, and over-65s make up 29.8% against 25.2%. Foreign residents account for 6.5%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
All 30 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 2, but in the mountains the expected ground acceleration is higher than on the plain: here it is about 0.206 g. For a stone house or a 1960s building, ask whether the structure has been assessed and what work has been done on the roof and floors.
The slopes of the Romagna Apennines are fragile and landslides are common, as are floods on the Savio and its side streams. The hazard changes from one address to another, and the report checks it. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the plot can be found.

For anyone buying in Bagno di Romagna, 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.
