Cerreto Laziale, a hill village above the Aniene valley

Cerreto Laziale is a village perched on a rise in the Aniene valley, in the eastern part of the province of Rome, between Tivoli and Subiaco. The old core is made of stone houses packed along climbing streets; around it are woods and olive groves, and the landscape already belongs to the inland mountains.

People who buy here are usually after a bigger home for less than they would pay in the city, and accept the travel that goes with it. Rome is reached by car via Tivoli, and journey times depend heavily on traffic on the way into the capital. In the village the choice is between flats and multi-storey houses in the old centre, often with steep stairs, and newer detached houses on the edge of the built-up area. This is climate zone E, with cold winters. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, which Rome pulls upwards.

In 2023 there were 1,073 residents, down 10.0% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.7, close to the provincial 46.0, and over-65s make up 25.0%. Foreign nationals are 7.9%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 96 others in the province; 24 are in zone 3 instead. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.155 g. For a stone house in the centre, asking whether the structure has been strengthened and how the roof floor is built avoids surprises after completion.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Cerreto Laziale, and the report traces the address back to the plot. Houses built on the slope need to be judged one by one: the report shows the gradient and the official landslide maps for that point.
