Mompantero, above Susa at the foot of Rocciamelone

The summit of Rocciamelone, with its shrine and statue of the Madonna that draws a summer pilgrimage, lies within the municipality of Mompantero. The village itself sits much lower, on the sunny slope rising from Susa, and the municipality includes hamlets scattered among terraced meadows, woods and rocky hillsides.

Susa is just below and is where people go for schools, shops, the hospital and trains to Turin. Buyers can choose between houses near the valley floor, handy for services, and those in the higher hamlets, with more sun and views but access that needs checking in winter. The slope is steep in many places: the report measures elevation and gradient at the address and checks the official landslide and flood maps, which have to be read plot by plot.

In 2023 Mompantero had 611 residents, 6.1% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics institute. The average age of 48.5 is a little above the 47.4 of the province of Turin, and over-65s make up 26.8%. Households average 2.10 people. Average declared income is below the provincial level.

The Susa valley has a moderate earthquake hazard. Mompantero is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection (Protezione Civile) classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.134 g. In the stone houses of the hamlets, have the connections between walls, timber floors and roof checked.

The cadastral maps are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), and the report traces the address to its land parcel, which also helps with terraced land sold with a house.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mompantero 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 0.134 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.
