Flussio, the Planargia village of asphodel baskets

Baskets woven from asphodel are what Flussio is known for in Sardinia: a traditional craft that the village's women have carried on for generations. The village lies in the Planargia, the hilly area south of Bosa, in countryside of vineyards, olive groves and pasture. Malvasia di Bosa wine is also made here.

Bosa is where people go for the sea, shops and some services; for hospitals, offices and secondary schools, Bosa or Oristano. The market consists of stone village houses, some with courtyards, often needing renovation, plus a few more recent homes. Before buying, check the paperwork, inheritance transfers, the roof, walls and services. The sea is close, and for anyone after a summer house a few minutes from the coast the village is a realistic option.

In 2023 there were 398 residents, down 12.3% from 454 in 2011. The estimated average age is 51.1 (provincial figure 49.8), over-65s make up 33.2% and foreign residents 2.8%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Oristano.

Earthquakes are not a significant issue in Sardinia: all 87 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, and in Flussio the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.050 g. For older houses, damp and maintenance matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On the slopes down to the valleys, landslide hazard is checked on the official maps.

Overview

Flussio is a municipality in the province of Oristano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 398 residents, ranked 61 of 87 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Flussio is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 12.3%. The estimated average age is 51 years, in line with the province. 33% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.8% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

Flussio is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Sardegna in 2022. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Flussio: 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 Flussio 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 3 inhabited census areas in Flussio. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
