Mompeo, a hill village in the Sabina

Mompeo looks out over the Sabina countryside from a hill in the province of Rieti, at just over 450 metres. The village is small and compact, with the old centre at the top and houses scattered across the hillside. For work and services many people look to Rieti or the Rome area, and buyers here often want exactly that balance: countryside on the doorstep, a city within driving distance.

In 2023 there were 512 residents, 4.1% fewer than at the 2011 census, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is old: a mean age of 52.9 against 48.1 in the province, with over-65s at 36.1% compared with 27.1%. Households are small (1.86 people on average) and foreign residents are 5.3%.

In the old centre, houses often spread over several levels, with internal stairs and thick stone walls; in the countryside there are farmhouses and newer homes. For both, compare the cadastral floor plan with what is actually there and ask when the roof and systems were last redone. The climate zone is E.

Mompeo is in seismic zone 2, like 60 of the 73 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.158 g. In an old masonry building, have an engineer check how walls, floors and roof are tied together.

The Revenue Agency publishes the municipality's cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel and checks the official landslide and flood maps for that spot, along with the distance to the nearest services.

For anyone buying in Mompeo, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 24 inhabited census areas in Mompeo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 56 or more.
