The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.

For example: Corso Industria 1, Monteu da Po.

Monteu da Po, on the Po where Roman Industria stood

On the right bank of the Po, where the plain meets the first hills, Monteu da Po holds the remains of Industria, a Roman town whose excavations are open to visitors. The modern village is split between the lower part, near the river and the road running along it, and the scattered houses climbing the slopes.

Many people commute towards Chivasso and Turin. The average age is 47.4, the same as the Turin area (47.4), and over-65s are 25.4%, slightly below the 26.4% of the metropolitan city. Foreign residents make up 10.6%. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 838 residents at the end of 2023, down 7.0% on 2011.

The main question for buyers is the river. A house on the plain near the Po may stand in an area the official maps mark as flood-prone, while a few metres higher the picture changes. The report checks the exact address; it is then worth asking the seller whether the house was damaged in past floods and how the ground floor and cellar are built.

Earthquakes matter little: Monteu da Po is in seismic zone 4 of the Civil Protection classification, like 41 of the 312 municipalities around Turin, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.039 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report goes from the street to the land parcel. Declared average income is below the provincial figure.

Overview

Monteu da Po is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 838 residents, ranked 213 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Monteu da Po is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.039 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
