Fiano, at the mouth of the Lanzo valleys

Fiano sits where the plain north-west of Turin ends and the climb towards the Lanzo valleys begins. The village is at around 400 metres, with a compact centre and hamlets scattered among meadows, woods and the first hills, and La Mandria regional park a short distance away towards the city.

Its closeness to Turin and its greenery make it a residential place: many people work in the metropolitan area and come back in the evening. Declared incomes are above the average for the Turin metropolitan area. The market offers mostly detached houses and homes with gardens, some villas on the hillside and older houses in the centre. The climate is zone E, with cold winters, so insulation and heating weigh on bills.

Istat, Italy's statistics office, counts 2,653 residents in 2023, down 2.2% since 2011. The average age is 47.6, similar to the 47.4 of the Turin metropolitan area, and over-65s make up 27.0%. Foreign residents account for 4.4%.

On earthquakes, the municipality is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities around Turin, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.066 g, a low value. For an older house, the roof, damp and the wiring and heating matter more.

With streams coming out of the valleys and slopes around the village, the report checks the official landslide and flood maps at the address, together with the elevation and slope of the plot. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published and links the address to its land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Fiano 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.

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