Baldissero Torinese, villas and woods on the hill beyond Superga
A few kilometres of bends lead up from the city onto the Turin hills, among woods and meadows. Baldissero Torinese lies behind Superga, on the eastern side of the hills. For decades it has been one of the most sought-after residential areas for people who work in Turin and want space, quiet and a garden, and average declared incomes are well above the provincial average.
The market is mainly villas, detached houses and homes on large plots, often along narrow, sloping hill roads, with a few converted farmsteads and a small historic centre around the church. For buyers, what counts is winter access, the time it takes to get down into the city at rush hour, aspect and the upkeep of gardens, retaining walls and services. With the town hall above 400 metres and climate zone E, winters are cold, though less foggy than on the plain.
In 2023 there were 3,728 residents, down 1.5% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 47.8 is close to the 47.4 of the province of Turin, and over-65s make up 27.0%. Foreign residents account for 3.7%.
Earthquakes are not a main concern: Baldissero is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.047 g, a low value.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps. The Turin hills are made of marl and clay that can shift in heavy rain, and many houses stand on sloping ground, so plot gradient and the official landslide maps are the first checks to make for the address.

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