Filacciano, a small village above the Tiber valley north of Rome

In the northernmost part of the Rome metropolitan area, where open countryside gives way to the first hills, Filacciano looks over the Tiber valley from a rise at about 200 metres. The old core is compact, with fields and woodland around it and very little built-up land. The A1 motorway runs along the valley, so Rome is within driving distance for those who work there.

Houses in the old centre are masonry buildings, often small, with internal stairs and little parking close by. Out in the countryside there are farmhouses (casali) and detached houses with land. In the village, look at the roof, the façades and damp on the lower floors; with a casale, check access, water supply and drainage. On the flat land towards the river, flood hazard needs checking on the official maps, which the report does for every address.

There were 453 residents in 2023, 7.6% fewer than the 490 of 2011. The village is older than the province as a whole: estimated average age 50.6 against 46.0, over-65s at 28.9% against 22.9%. Foreign residents make up 9.9% and households average 1.84 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Filacciano is in seismic zone 2 on the scale kept by the Civil Protection Department, like 96 other municipalities in the province; the remaining 24 are in zone 3. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.147 g. For an old masonry building, ask whether structural work has been done and whether the paperwork exists.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel.

For anyone buying in Filacciano, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

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 6 inhabited census areas in Filacciano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 56 or more.
