Collalto Sabino, a castle village on the Abruzzo border

The castle towering over the village is the first thing you see on arriving at Collalto Sabino, a mountain village in the province of Rieti at almost a thousand metres, on the border with Abruzzo. Around it are woods, pastures and roads that drop towards the Turano valley and towards Carsoli. For Rome you drive to Carsoli and join the A24 motorway there.

The old centre is compact, with stone houses leaning on one another and sloping lanes. Many are second homes, opened up mainly in summer. For a buyer, the state of the masonry, the roof, car access and heating count: it is climate zone F, with cold winters.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 382 residents in 2023, 13.2% fewer than the 440 of 2011. The estimated average age is 55.9, against 48.1 for the province, and over-65s make up 37.7%. Foreign residents are 9.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

This part of the Apennines is seismic. Collalto is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, with 59 other municipalities in the province of Rieti, while 13 are in zone 1; expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.172 g. For stone houses in the village, a structural survey is advisable, and ask the town hall whether any strengthening work has been done.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available and the report links the address to its land parcel, together with slope data read at that spot.
