Lubriano, the village facing Civita di Bagnoregio

From the viewpoint in Lubriano you look across the calanchi valley to Civita di Bagnoregio. The calanchi are clay slopes carved into ridges and gullies by erosion, and they surround the old hilltop town opposite. Lubriano sits on the rim of this valley at about 440 metres, in the province of Viterbo in northern Lazio, in an area of tuff stone, woodland and fields near the border with Umbria. Orvieto and Viterbo are the towns people use for services and work.

The centre is made up of tuff houses, many of them old, with cellars cut into the rock. Buyers should look at the walls and damp as well as the roof and services. For a house near the edge of the calanchi, read the official landslide maps carefully: the report checks them for the exact address. The climate is zone E, with cold winters.

At the end of 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 854 residents, down 7.1% since 2011. The average age is 49.1, against 47.5 for the province, and over-65s are 30.3%, more than the provincial 25.9%. Foreign residents are 7.6%. Average declared incomes are below the average for the province of Viterbo.

Lubriano is in seismic zone 2 (zone 1 is the most hazardous), like 40 of the 60 municipalities in the province; the other 20 are in zone 3. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.144 g. In tuff buildings, the quality of the masonry and the ties between walls and floors are what count: for an old house, ask what structural work has been done.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, and the report finds the land parcel from the address.
