Ciampino, the airport, the station and the edge of Rome
Outside Italy, Ciampino is the name of an airport: used mainly by low-cost airlines and state flights, it takes up a large part of the municipality. The town borders Rome and is in practice an extension of it, at the foot of the Castelli Romani hills. It split from Marino to become a municipality in its own right in the twentieth century and grew around its station, a junction for lines running from Rome to the Castelli and further south.
Noise is the first thing a buyer should look at. Some districts are close to the runways or under the take-off and landing paths, and that affects daily life and property values, so visit at different times of day. Otherwise Ciampino is convenient: regional trains run direct to Rome Termini, and the Grande Raccordo Anulare, Rome's orbital motorway, is close. The town is compact and densely built, with small blocks, villas and little open space.
Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 38,670 residents in 2023, up 3.9% on 2011. Average age (45.7) and the share of over-65s (22.7%) are in line with the wider Rome area; foreign residents make up 7.6%. Average incomes are slightly below the provincial average.
Ciampino also feels the Alban Hills, a dormant volcanic area with frequent small earthquakes. It is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like 97 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.164 g. In blocks from the 1960s and 1970s, when the town grew fastest, ask for the design date and any surveys carried out.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address, along with the distance to the nearest stop and landslide and flood hazard.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ciampino 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 (97 of 121) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.164 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
For anyone buying in Ciampino, 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.
