Lombardore, plain country between Turin and the Canavese

Lombardore is a lowland municipality north of Turin, at the gateway to the Canavese, in a landscape of fields, farmsteads and woods along the streams. The village has a small historic centre surrounded by streets of detached and terraced houses, which grew as people working around Turin came looking for a home with a garden.

Daily life relies on the larger towns nearby and on Turin, reached by car. Buyers mostly find detached houses built from the 1970s onwards, plus the odd farmstead. In older houses, look at the energy rating and the heating system; with a farmstead, also check the roofs and the permitted use of the outbuildings. Incomes are below the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,714 residents in 2023, up 0.5% on 2011, so broadly stable. The average age is 46.3 against 47.4 in the province, over-65s are 23.4% against 26.4% and foreign residents 4.4%.

Lombardore is in seismic zone 3, like 271 municipalities in the metropolitan city of Turin; the other 41 are in zone 4. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.048 g, a low value.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published. The report traces the address to the plot and checks the official flood maps, worth a close look for houses near the streams that cross the plain.

Overview

Lombardore is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,714 residents, ranked 147 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lombardore 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 0.048 g, a low 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.
