Collebeato, the hillside village just above Brescia

Collebeato borders Brescia on its northern side, where the plain ends against the first hills. The village sits at the foot of the slopes and partly climbs them, with villas, houses with gardens and a few old rural clusters; higher up are woods and paths used by city dwellers too. The centre of Brescia is a few minutes' drive away, and for many residents that is the point: living on a hillside with the city close at hand.

The economic profile bears this out. Declared incomes are well above the provincial average, and the population is older: an average age of 48.7 against 45.4, over-65s at 28.6% against 22.8% for the province. There are 4,436 residents, down 5.6% since 2011, and foreign residents account for 4.5%.

For buyers, one street can differ sharply from the next. Flat plots near the city boundary have different needs from houses built on the slope, where the gradient, retaining walls, rainwater drainage and winter access by car all matter. The report measures elevation and slope at the address and reads the official landslide maps.

The province of Brescia is split on earthquakes: 52 municipalities are in zone 2 and 153 in zone 3, Collebeato among them. The expected ground acceleration here is about 0.147 g, not a negligible value for zone 3. For a villa from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and any later work.

The data lists 22 services, a small number because much of daily life relies on Brescia. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published and the report reaches the plot from the address.

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