Celleno, the old village on the tuff and the new one

Celleno has two sides. There is the old village on a tuff spur with its castle, left almost empty during the twentieth century, and the village people live in today, which grew up a short distance away. This is the Teverina, between Viterbo and the Tiber valley, a landscape of hills, hazel orchards and cherry trees. Viterbo, with its hospital, offices and schools, is a short drive.

There were 1,298 residents in 2023, down 3.4% since 2011. The average age is 49.2, against 47.5 in the province of Viterbo, and over-65s are 29.3% compared with 25.9% provincially. Foreign residents are 7.6%.

Buyers can choose between houses in the village, detached homes and farmhouses with land. If a farmhouse has already been renovated, check that the work was authorised and registered with the land registry. Winters are cold (climate zone E), as the village is at around four hundred metres: work out the heating cost of an isolated farmhouse in advance.

Earthquakes are a real consideration. In the province of Viterbo 40 municipalities are in zone 2 and 20 in zone 3; Celleno is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.144 g. For old tuff houses it is worth asking for a check of the walls.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On tuff ground and along the ravines conditions change from one spot to the next: landslide hazard is read on the official maps for the exact address.

Key points

  • Near-empty old village and new village, in the Teverina.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Celleno is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 2B. Most municipalities in the province (40 of 60) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.144 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Celleno, 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 3.4%. The estimated average age is 49 years, higher than the province average (48). 29% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 23%). Foreign residents make up 7.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Celleno. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Celleno: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 13 inhabited census areas in Celleno. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 71 or more.
