Cineto Romano, a hill village in the Aniene valley

Along the Aniene valley, where the motorway to L'Aquila leaves the Roman countryside behind and begins to climb into the Apennines, Cineto Romano sits on a rise just above five hundred metres. The village is compact, with the old centre at the top and newer houses on the slopes; around it are woods and fields.

Rome remains the main reference for jobs and specialist services, but the distance is noticeable: there are few services in the village, so secondary schools, shopping and healthcare rely on the larger towns of the valley and on Tivoli. Buyers will find houses in the old centre, often small and on several levels, and newer detached homes, some used as second homes.

There were 583 residents in 2023, down 9.0% on the 641 of 2011. Compared with the Metropolitan City of Rome, the population is older: an average age of 51.0 against 46.0, and over-65s at 29.2% against 22.9%. The share of foreign residents is 10.1%. Declared incomes are much lower than the provincial average.

The Rome area has two seismic zones: 97 municipalities are in zone 2 and 24 in zone 3. Cineto Romano is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.158 g. For a masonry house in the old centre, have the connections between walls and floors checked and ask what structural work has been done.

Cadastral maps are available: the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes them, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. Landslides on the slopes and flooding towards the valley floor are checked on the official maps for the exact position.
