Druento, on the edge of La Mandria park north-west of Turin

La Mandria park, once the hunting estate of the Savoy royal family attached to the palace of Venaria Reale, takes up part of Druento's territory and shapes its character: woods and fenced meadows on one side, the town and its newer residential areas on the other. Turin is about fifteen kilometres away and Venaria Reale is the next municipality.

Most people here live in detached or terraced houses and small blocks of flats, often families who work in Turin or in the industrial areas on the northern edge of the city. At around three hundred metres, this is the upper plain at the foot of the Lanzo valleys, with cold winters (climate zone E in the Italian system): heating and insulation weigh on household bills, so look closely at the energy rating.

Druento is growing. At the end of 2023 there were 9,012 residents, up 6.8% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, in a province where many towns are losing people. The estimated average age is 46.4 against 47.4 for the metropolitan area of Turin; 24.7% of residents are over 65 (province: 26.4%) and 6.0% are foreign nationals. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low. Druento is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the metropolitan area, while the other 41 are in zone 4. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.063 g. For a flat, the condition of the building and the service charges matter more.

Streams from the Lanzo valleys cross the plain nearby, and in the lower areas flood risk should be checked for the specific address, which is what the report does. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the address leads straight to the plot.

Key points

Overview

Druento is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 9,012 residents, ranked 38 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Druento is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. 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 0.063 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 6.8%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.0% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Druento declared an average taxable income of 26,572 euros, in line with the province (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Druento is in climate zone E, with 2,781 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 285 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Druento has 4 schools and 2 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 2 grocery shops and supermarkets, 2 healthcare facilities, 5 sports facilities and 2 parks and green areas.

There are 0.2 healthcare facilities per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.7).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 11.4% of the land in Druento, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 0.6 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Druento is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Druento. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Druento: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Druento are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 54 inhabited census areas in Druento. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 74 or more.
