Camerata Nuova, in the beech woods of the Simbruini mountains

Camerata Nuova belongs to the province of Rome, but it is a mountain village at around eight hundred metres in the Simbruini range, inside the regional nature park named after these mountains and close to the border with Abruzzo. Beech woods, high pastures and limestone shape the landscape, and the village itself is compact, with houses packed together on sloping streets.

Buyers here are usually looking for a weekend or summer home, or want to live in the mountains while working remotely. Everyday services are basic and anything more means driving. The climate is zone E, with cold winters and snow, so the boiler, windows and roof deserve a close look.

Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 412 residents in 2023, down 10.4% since 2011. The average age is 50.7, against 46.0 for the province, and over-65s make up 29.4%, compared with 22.9% across the Rome area. Foreign nationals are 4.9% of residents. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, which includes the capital.

Italy's Civil Protection Department places Camerata Nuova in seismic zone 2, along with 96 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.166 g. For an old masonry house, ask whether it has been strengthened, for example with tie rods or a reinforced ring beam, and ask to see the paperwork.

Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are available, so the report links the address to its land parcel. On mountain slopes, landslides and rockfall need checking at the exact spot on the official maps.
