Campiglia Marittima, hill village and the Venturina plain
Campiglia Marittima has two faces. The medieval village sits on a hill above the Val di Cornia, with stone-paved lanes and a castle; down on the plain is Venturina Terme, the part of the municipality where most people live, with shops, business areas and Campiglia Marittima station on the Tyrrhenian coast railway, where the branch line to Piombino begins.
The sea is close: San Vincenzo is a few kilometres away, the Gulf of Follonica a little further south, and Piombino, with its ferries to Elba, closes the valley. The Campiglia hills were mined for metals for centuries, a story told by the San Silvestro archaeological mining park. Venturina also has thermal springs, which give the village its name. For buyers, hilltop and plain are two separate markets: old houses with steps and alleys above, detached homes and flats below.
Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 12,402 residents in 2023, down 6.2% on 2011. The population is old: the average age is 49.9 against 48.7 in the province of Livorno, with over-65s at 29.9%. Foreign nationals make up 7.7%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, and the troubles of the Piombino steelworks weigh on jobs across the whole Val di Cornia.
In the province of Livorno 13 of the 19 municipalities are in seismic zone 4 of the Civil Protection classification, and Campiglia is one of them: zone 4, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.056 g. In the old village the condition of stone walls and roofs matters most; on the plain, the age of the building and its energy efficiency.
The Cornia plain is low-lying and crossed by drainage ditches and reclamation channels, and some areas can flood in heavy rain. The report checks the official flood maps at the address and finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Overview
Campiglia Marittima is a municipality in the province of Livorno, in Toscana. At the end of 2023 it had 12,402 residents, ranked 6 of 19 municipalities in the province.
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Campiglia Marittima is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (13 of 19) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.056 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 6.2%. The estimated average age is 50 years, in line with the province. 30% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 26%). Foreign residents make up 7.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.
