For example: Via Giuseppe Garibaldi 1, Camporgiano.

Camporgiano, upper Garfagnana along the Serchio

Camporgiano sits in the Serchio valley, in the upper part of the Garfagnana, the mountainous north of the province of Lucca. The main village gathers around its fortress, and a series of hamlets is spread between the valley floor and the wooded slopes. Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is the local centre for services and secondary schools, while Lucca is a longer drive down the valley.

Most of what is for sale is stone buildings, village houses on several levels and rural properties in the hamlets, many needing renovation. On the slopes, access roads, aspect and retaining walls matter; near the river, the official flood maps. The report reads landslide and flood maps for the single address, because conditions change a lot from one hamlet to the next. The climate zone is E, so winters are cold and heating costs need budgeting.

The population is older and shrinking. According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,005 residents at the end of 2023, 12.3% fewer than in 2011. Over-65s make up 33.4%, against 26.8% for the province, and the average age is 51.6. Foreign residents account for 5.4%.

Camporgiano is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.202 g. For a stone house, ask whether it has been structurally strengthened, how walls and floors are tied together and what state the roof is in.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel.
