Civita d'Antino, a balcony over the Valle Roveto

Civita d'Antino looks down on the Valle Roveto, the valley of the River Liri running down from the Marsica area towards Lazio. The village sits at around 900 metres on high ground overlooking the valley, and in the late nineteenth century it drew the Danish painter Kristian Zahrtmann and other Danish artists, who stayed for long periods.

Down below, along the Liri, run the expressway between Sora and Avezzano and the Avezzano to Roccasecca railway. Connections run along the valley floor, while the village stays up high, reached by mountain roads. Avezzano is the town to rely on for the hospital, offices and secondary schools.

In 2023 the village had 947 residents, down 4.7% on 2011. The average age is 48.5, against 47.5 in the province of L'Aquila, and over-65s make up 28.7%. Foreign residents account for 7.4% and households have 2.35 people on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes are the main issue. Civita d'Antino is in seismic zone 1, the highest class set by the Civil Protection Department, like 103 of the 108 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.210 g. A stone house needs careful assessment: year of construction, strengthening work, and how the walls, floors and roof are tied together.

On the hillside the report measures the gradient at the house and checks the official landslide maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published, and the report goes from the street to the land parcel.
