Coassolo Torinese, hamlets at the mouth of the Lanzo valleys

Coassolo Torinese is a mountain municipality at the mouth of the Valli di Lanzo, north-west of Turin, made up of many hamlets scattered across the hillside among meadows, chestnut groves and woods. The town hall stands at over seven hundred metres, but the land runs from the lower ground towards Lanzo up to the high pastures.

For buyers, the defining feature is this scattered layout. There is no large centre: there are clusters of a few stone houses, often with a patch of land, linked by mountain roads. Turin is reached by car through Lanzo, which also has the railway and the nearest services; the village itself has 9 recorded. Winters are cold (climate zone F), so heating, insulation and access to the house in snow need careful thought.

There are 1,466 residents, down 5.4% since 2011. The average age (47.6) and the share of over-65s (25.2%) are close to the figures for the province of Turin. Foreign nationals are 3.5%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.069 g. In the stone houses of the hamlets, the useful checks are the roof, how walls and floors are tied together, and damp.

On the slopes and along the streams running down the valley, the exact position matters. The report checks the official landslide and flood maps at the house, measures elevation and gradient, and gives the cadastral details of the land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Coassolo Torinese is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.069 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
