Meana di Susa, hamlets above Susa on the Finestre road
Meana di Susa sits on the side of the Susa valley that looks down on the town of Susa, along the road up to the Colle delle Finestre pass, at 600 to 700 metres, with hamlets scattered among meadows, chestnut woods and old terraces. The valley floor, with the motorway and the railway to France, is just below, and Turin remains within reach for those who work in the city.
The village appeals to people looking for a mountain home that is not too isolated: stone houses in the hamlets, some carefully restored, and small villas built in recent decades. This is climate zone F, so insulation and heating carry real weight. Before buying, check the access road in winter, the aspect of the house and the gradient of the land around it.
According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 810 residents in 2023, down 8.0% on the 880 of 2011. The average age is 50.8 against 47.4 for the metropolitan city of Turin, and over-65s make up 30.4%. Foreign residents account for 5.2%. Declared incomes are below the Turin area average.
Meana is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the metropolitan area, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.135 g. In the stone houses of the hamlets, find out whether the roof and floors have been rebuilt and whether the walls are tied together.
On an Alpine slope, landslides, rockfall and flash floods in the streams depend on the exact spot, and the report checks the official maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report finds the land parcel from the address.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Meana di Susa is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. 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 0.135 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.
