Casaprota, a hill village in the Sabina
Casaprota is a small village in the Sabina, the hill country between Rieti and Rome, in the province of Rieti, with the village on high ground at around 520 metres and farmland, woods and scattered houses around it. Rieti and Rome are the two poles people look to for work and services, both reached by car: anyone working in the capital should test the journey at rush hour before deciding.
Houses in the old centre are stone-built, often on several levels and reached by uphill streets; outside the village there are farmhouses and detached homes with land. These properties need a close look at the roof, damp and the services, and for farmhouses also at whether extensions and changes of use are authorised. The report measures elevation and slope at the address and checks the official landslide maps, useful on the slopes.
In 2023 there were 670 residents, 7.3% fewer than the 723 of 2011. The estimated average age is 51.3, against 48.1 in the province of Rieti, and over-65s make up 28.8%. Households are small, 1.82 people on average, and foreign residents are 11.0%. Average declared income is close to the provincial level.
On the seismic side, the province of Rieti has 13 municipalities in zone 1 and 60 in zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification. Casaprota is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.160 g. With a masonry house, ask about the year of construction, any seismic upgrading and the related permits, and have it seen by a surveyor before signing.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Casaprota, and the report links the address to the land parcel and the building.

For anyone buying in Casaprota, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
