Mappano, Turin's youngest municipality to the north

Until a few years ago Mappano was not a municipality in its own right. The built-up area was split between Caselle Torinese, Borgaro Torinese, Leinì and Settimo Torinese, and residents dealt with four different town halls. Today it is an independent municipality on the plain north of Turin, between Caselle airport and the Settimo area, made up mostly of houses built in recent decades.

For buyers this means a market of detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats, fairly recent, with few historic buildings. Turin is about twenty minutes by car, and the northern ring road is close. If you are looking at a house on the Caselle side, go and listen for aircraft noise, which depends on where the property sits in relation to the runway.

There are no 2011 figures, as the municipality did not yet exist. At the end of 2023 it had 7,298 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, with an estimated average age of 45.3, lower than the 47.4 of the province of Turin. Over-65s make up 21.8%, against 26.4% in the province, and foreign residents 2.7%. Households have 2.40 members on average, the profile of a town of young couples and families with children.

Mappano is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like most of the province (271 of 312 municipalities), and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, about 0.052 g. With recent buildings, check the construction quality and the declared energy rating.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, but since the municipality is new it is worth checking that the sale documents already register the property under Mappano. The report starts from the address and returns the land parcel with data for that exact spot.

Key points

  • Independent municipality for only a few years, near Caselle.
  • Average age 45.3, below the provincial 47.4.

Overview

Mappano is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 7,298 residents, ranked 47 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mappano 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 0.052 g, a moderate 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.

Population

The estimated average age is 45 years, lower than the province average (47). 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Mappano declared an average taxable income of 25,442 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Mappano has 4 schools. The Overture Maps data also lists 3 grocery shops and supermarkets, 2 healthcare facilities, 3 sports facilities and 2 parks and green areas.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 24.4% of the land in Mappano, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Mappano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 3 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Mappano, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

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.
