Collesalvetti, villages between Livorno, Pisa and the hills

Behind Livorno, in the hinterland between the city, Pisa and the Livorno Hills, Collesalvetti is a large municipality split into villages that have little in common. Stagno, right next to Livorno, has the oil refinery and large industrial areas; Guasticce has the Amerigo Vespucci freight terminal; the main village and Vicarello are residential places on the plain; Nugola, Castell'Anselmo and the two Parrana villages sit in the hills among woods and fields.

For buyers, the village matters more than the municipality. Near the industrial plants and logistics roads, find out about heavy traffic, noise and the risks linked to industry. In the hills there are isolated houses, rustic buildings and small villas in quieter surroundings, where a car is essential. The villages on the plain have services closer at hand, and the report measures the distance from each address to schools, pharmacies and shops.

In 2023 there were 16,410 residents, down 1.8% since 2011, making up 5.0% of the province of Livorno. Collesalvetti is younger than the rest of a very old province: estimated average age 47.2 against 48.7, over-65s at 25.8% against 28.1%. Foreign residents are 5.7%.

For earthquakes the province is almost entirely calm: in the national classification by the Civil Protection department, 13 municipalities are in zone 4, the lowest, and only 6, Collesalvetti included, in zone 3. Here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.138 g. With farmhouses and older buildings, it is still worth asking what structural work has been done.

The plain towards Pisa is largely reclaimed marshland crossed by canals and ditches, so flood hazard should be checked for the address; in the hills, gradient and landslides count. The report reads the official maps and finds the plot on the land registry maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

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