Caselle Torinese, Turin's airport town on the Stura plain
For most people Caselle simply means Turin airport, and the runways do take up a large part of the municipality, on the plain north of the city crossed by the Stura di Lanzo river. Aerospace factories have operated next to the airport for decades, which gives the town an industrial, technical character rather than a farming one.
If you are looking at property here, start with the flight paths. Aircraft noise varies a lot from one street to the next, and so does heavy traffic near the industrial estates. Turin is reached on the Turin-Ceres railway, which also stops at the airport, and the city ring road is close by.
In 2023 the town had 13,765 residents, down 24.8% on the 18,299 counted in the 2011 census by Istat, the national statistics office. The population is younger than the Turin average: an estimated mean age of 45.4 against 47.4 for the province, and over-65s at 22.6% against 26.4%. Foreign residents make up 6.7%, and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.
Earthquake hazard is low. Caselle sits in seismic zone 3 on the national scale set by the Civil Protection Department, like 270 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.055 g. In a 1960s or 1970s block of flats, insulation, windows and the boiler matter more: this is climate zone E, with long winters and the heating on for many months.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole municipality, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. Near the Stura and the irrigation channels, flood hazard can change within a few hundred metres, so it has to be checked at the exact location of the house.

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