Brozolo, hills south of the Po on the edge of the Turin area

Brozolo lies on the hills south of the Po, in the eastern part of the province of Turin, where the hills stretch out towards the Asti area: farmed ridges, woodland and isolated farmhouses. The village is at around 360 metres. For work, secondary schools and the railway station people go down to the plain, towards the Po and Chivasso, and from there on to Turin.

Homes for sale are mostly village houses and farmhouses in the hills, sometimes with a good deal of land. With an isolated house, what matters is access in the cold months, water supply, drainage and the condition of the roof; this is climate zone E. On the slopes, gradient and landslide hazard can change from one plot to the next, and the report checks them for the address on the official maps.

In 2023 there were 444 residents, 5.7% fewer than the 471 of 2011. The estimated average age is 48.8, against 47.4 in the metropolitan city of Turin, but the share of over-65s is lower: 23.9% against 26.4%. Foreign residents make up 7.2%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

On earthquakes Brozolo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest class on the scale kept by the Civil Protection Department, along with 40 other municipalities in the Turin area; most of them, 271, are in zone 3. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.039 g. In an old country house the most useful checks concern damp, the roof and the services.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report traces the address to its land parcel and shows at once which plots surround the house.

Key points

Overview

Brozolo is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 444 residents, ranked 266 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Brozolo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.039 g, a low 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 5.7%. The estimated average age is 49 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 7.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Brozolo declared an average taxable income of 25,559 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Brozolo is in climate zone E, with 2,894 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 360 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Brozolo: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
