Bassano in Teverina, a hill above Orte and the Tiber

For anyone working in Rome, Bassano in Teverina has one clear advantage: Orte, with its station on the Rome to Florence line and its A1 motorway junction, is a few kilometres away. The village sits on a hill in the Teverina, at around three hundred metres, overlooking the Tiber valley, while Viterbo lies the other way, to the west.

The population is holding up: 1,286 residents in 2023, up 0.7% on 2011, with foreign residents at 11.9%. The average age is 49.2, against 47.5 in the province of Viterbo, and over-65s are 28.2% against 25.9%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average, slightly below it.

The market offers houses in the old village, detached homes and farmhouses with land in the surrounding countryside, among olive groves and hazel orchards. Houses in the old village are on several levels with narrow stairs; in the countryside, check access, water supply and drainage, as scattered houses are not always connected to the public network. It is climate zone D.

In the Viterbo area the seismic classification splits municipalities between zone 2 (40) and zone 3 (20). Bassano is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.135 g: for a tuff or stone house, ask for a check of the walls and floors.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On the slopes towards the Tiber and along the gullies, landslide and flood hazard are read on the official maps for each house.
