Ittireddu, an inland village near Ozieri

In the interior of northern Sardinia, in the Ozieri area, Ittireddu is a hill village at around 310 metres, surrounded by farmland and pasture. The area has Nuragic and prehistoric remains, far from the coast and the tourist flows, and life follows the rhythm of the island's farming towns.

Buying a home here means choosing a village house, often with a courtyard, or a house in the countryside. There are few services in the village, and for secondary schools, the hospital and shops people go to Ozieri or Sassari. Before buying, look at the condition of the roof and walls, damp and the wiring and plumbing, and ask about running costs: this is climate zone D, with mild but damp winters.

The population has fallen by 20.3% since 2011: in 2023 there were 462 residents, against 580. The average age of 50.5 is above the provincial 48.3 and over-65s make up 31.0%. Foreign residents account for 3.7%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Sardinia is calm on the earthquake front: all 66 municipalities in the province of Sassari are in seismic zone 4, the lowest class on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, and expected ground acceleration in Ittireddu is about 0.050 g. When choosing a house, build quality, insulation and upkeep weigh more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report links the address to the land parcel. Flooding along watercourses and landslides on slopes are checked for the exact spot on the official maps.

Ittireddu is a municipality in the province of Sassari, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 462 residents, ranked 58 of 66 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ittireddu is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 66 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.
