Bulzi, Anglona and the church of San Pietro delle Immagini

Out in the countryside just beyond the village, the Romanesque church of San Pietro di Simbranos, also known as San Pietro delle Immagini, is what brings visitors to Bulzi as they explore Anglona, in northern Sardinia. The village sits on a hill at around 200 metres, among farmed valleys and pasture.

For a buyer, Bulzi offers village houses with courtyards and some country homes, in a very quiet setting. The climate is mild, climate zone C, so heating weighs less than elsewhere; what matters instead is damp in the walls and the state of the roof and systems. For everyday services and schools you travel to the larger towns of the area and to Sassari, and the coast of the Gulf of Asinara is within driving distance.

The population is older: the estimated average age is 54.3, against 48.3 for the province, and over-65s make up 37.0%. In 2023 there were 459 residents, 16.8% fewer than in 2011. Foreign residents account for 3.5%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Sassari.

Earthquakes are a remote hazard here: all 66 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, and in Bulzi expected ground acceleration is about 0.050 g. Checks on a house are mainly about upkeep and energy efficiency.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. In the valleys of Anglona, flooding from watercourses and landslides on the slopes are checked for the exact spot on the official maps.

Overview

Bulzi is a municipality in the province of Sassari, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 459 residents, among the smallest in the province (59 of 66).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Bulzi is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 66 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 16.8%. The estimated average age is 54 years, higher than the province average (48). 37% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 3.5% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Bulzi declared an average taxable income of 17,070 euros, below the provincial average (21,361 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Bulzi is in climate zone C, with 1,205 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 November to 31 March, for up to 10 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 200 metres above sea level.

Radon and contaminated sites

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

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.
