Beverino, in the lower Vara valley near La Spezia

The Vara river runs wide along the valley floor, and Beverino is split between the flat land by the river and the hamlets on the hills either side, among woods and olive groves. This is the lower Vara valley, inland from La Spezia, under a hundred metres up in its lower part, with the provincial capital and the sea a short drive away.

For many residents Beverino is a compromise between town and country. They work in La Spezia, Sarzana or around Brugnato and come home in the evening to a quieter village. On offer are stone houses in the hill hamlets, often with terraces and strips of land, and newer homes on the valley floor, from small villas to small blocks of flats.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,241 residents in 2023, down 6.7% on 2011. The average age is 49.6, against 48.6 in the province, and over-65s are 28.6%. Foreign residents make up 2.7%. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average. The climate is mild (climate zone D).

Beverino is in seismic zone 3 on the scale kept by the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department), like 24 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.133 g, not a negligible value. For stone houses, have the walls and floors checked.

If you choose a house on the valley floor, look at how far it is from the Vara: the report for the address shows the official flood maps and, for the hill hamlets, the landslide maps.

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