Collegiove, a mountain village above the Turano valley

Collegiove sits above a thousand metres, in the mountains that close off the Turano valley in the southern part of the province of Rieti. It is a mountain village of stone houses gathered on the slope, with woods all around and snow in winter. Lake Turano lies lower down, and Rieti and Rome are reached by car by heading down to the main valleys.

Many people look here for a summer house, when the cool air at this height makes a difference. Anyone thinking of living here all year has to reckon with climate zone F, the coldest, and with mountain roads: insulation, the boiler or stove and winter access are the first things to check.

In 2023 there were 125 residents, against 169 in 2011, a fall of 26.0% according to Istat, the national statistics office. Households are very small, 1.30 people on average, and over-65s reach 39.2%, against 27.1% in the province. The estimated average age is 56.1. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard needs to be taken seriously. On the Civil Protection Department's scale Collegiove is in zone 2, like 59 other municipalities in the province, while 13 are in zone 1; expected ground acceleration is about 0.174 g. For a masonry house, find out whether seismic upgrading has been carried out and under which permits.

The report checks the official maps for landslides on the slopes and flooding at the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and link the house to its land parcel.
