Castiglione Torinese, between the Po and the hills east of Turin

Castiglione Torinese covers a stretch of the right bank of the Po east of Turin, between San Mauro and Gassino. The lower part runs along the river and the road beside it, and that is where many of the newer houses are; behind it rise the Turin hills, with villas, woodland, narrow lanes and views over the plain. The centre lies just over two hundred metres above sea level.

Average declared incomes are clearly above the average for the province of Turin, which says something about who the town attracts: families working in the city who want space and greenery. Local services are limited, 34 in total among those mapped by Overture Maps, with 2.77 bars and restaurants per 1,000 residents against 4.52 in the province, so for many errands people go to San Mauro, Settimo or Turin.

In 2023 the population was 6,491, up 2.0% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 46.2 is below the provincial 47.4, over-65s make up 23.1% against 26.4%, and foreign residents 4.0%.

The Turin area has little seismic activity. Most municipalities in the province are in zone 3, and Castiglione is one of 41 in zone 4, the lowest class on the Civil Protection Department's scale, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.046 g.

Two features of the land matter more. Near the Po the issue is flooding; on the hill, landslides and steep ground, which also affect access and upkeep costs. The report checks both for the individual address, along with the land parcel on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Key points

  • Right bank of the Po and the Turin hills, between San Mauro and Gassino.
  • Average incomes above the Turin provincial average.
  • 6,491 residents, up 2.0% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 4: the Po and the slopes matter more.

Overview

Castiglione Torinese is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 6,491 residents, ranked 50 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Castiglione Torinese is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.046 g, a low 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.
