Campomorone, in the upper Polcevera valley below the Bocchetta

Campomorone is the last town in the Polcevera valley before the road climbs to the Bocchetta pass, the old route over the Apennines into Piedmont. Genoa lies downstream, beyond Pontedecimo, and people who work in the city travel down the valley every day; the A7 motorway and the Giovi railway line run through it too. The centre is at about one hundred and twenty metres, but the land rises quickly towards the mountains, with scattered hamlets and houses on steep slopes.

This is an older, shrinking municipality: 6,463 residents in 2023, down 11.5% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 50.2, above the already high figure for the province of Genoa (49.0); over-65s make up 30.7%, and households are small, with 1.93 people on average. Foreign residents account for 4.1%.

On offer are flats on the valley floor and stone houses in the hamlets, often with land and access that need looking into. In a place like this, the exact location matters a great deal: distance to shops and bus stops, how steep the road is, and how much sun the house gets in winter.

Earthquakes are not the main concern. Campomorone is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale of 1 (highest) to 4, like 64 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.078 g.

Hydrogeological risk counts for far more. The valley's streams can swell within hours during heavy rain, especially in autumn, and the slopes are prone to landslides. These are the two checks to make before anything else, and the report reads them at the exact address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available and lead to the land parcel.

  • Streams and landslides: the first checks for any address.

Overview

Campomorone is a municipality in the province of Genova, in Liguria. At the end of 2023 it had 6,463 residents, ranked 12 of 67 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Campomorone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (64 of 67) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.078 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 11.5%. The estimated average age is 50 years, in line with the province. 31% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 29%). Foreign residents make up 4.1% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Campomorone declared an average taxable income of 24,661 euros, below the provincial average (26,655 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Campomorone is in climate zone D, with 1,867 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 1 November to 15 April, for up to 12 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 118 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 6.6% of the land in Campomorone, compared with 8.0% in the province and 7.3% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Campomorone is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Liguria in 2026. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is low. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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.
