Baratili San Pietro, Vernaccia country on the Oristano plain

Baratili San Pietro is a village on the plain north of Oristano, in western Sardinia, surrounded by the vineyards of Vernaccia di Oristano, the oxidative white wine made here for centuries. The land is flat and low, only a few metres above sea level; Oristano is very close and the Sinis beaches are a short drive to the west.

Homes are mostly low village houses, often built of sun-dried earth bricks (ladiri) in the older parts, with inner courtyards and arched gateways. Anyone buying a house like this should know that earth brick needs specific care, suffers from damp and must be restored with compatible materials. Newer houses are in masonry and concrete, often on two floors. The climate is mild (climate zone C), with hot summers.

The population is elderly. In 2023 there were 1,210 residents, 9.0% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office; the average age is 50.3 against 49.8 in the province of Oristano, and over-65s are 29.2% (29.5% in the province). Foreign residents make up 1.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes are not a practical concern: all 87 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the national classification, and the expected ground acceleration here is 0.050 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report works back from the address to the land parcel. On a low plain like this one, the thing to check is flood hazard, which the official maps show for the exact spot.

Key points

  • Plain north of Oristano, among the Vernaccia vineyards.
  • All 87 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4.

Overview

Baratili San Pietro is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 1,210 residents, ranked 32 of 87 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Baratili San Pietro is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
