Cinzano, hills on the border between Turin and Asti

Cinzano is a hill village at the far eastern edge of the province of Turin, where the Turin hills run on without a break into those of the Asti area. It sits at around five hundred metres among fields, copses and vines, with the old core on the top and houses scattered along the roads down to the valleys. Chieri and Chivasso are the nearest towns for services and work, and Turin is within driving distance.

It is the kind of place chosen by people who work around Turin but want space and quiet. The market offers village houses, farmhouses and villas with gardens. Roads are narrow and winding, so try the commute at rush hour before deciding. The municipality is classed in climate zone F: winters on the hill are long, so insulation and the heating system deserve a close look.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 340 residents in 2023, against 375 in 2011, a fall of 9.3%. The estimated average age is 48.8, close to the 47.4 of the province, and 26.8% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 7.6%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Seismic risk is low. Cinzano is in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, like 41 of the 312 municipalities in the province of Turin, and the expected acceleration is about 0.043 g.

On the clay and sandy slopes typical of these hills, the ground can move. The report checks the official landslide maps for the address and finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Overview

Cinzano is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 340 residents, ranked 277 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cinzano 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 0.043 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.
