Moriondo Torinese, hills between Chieri and the Asti area

Between the Chieri area and the province of Asti, in the hills east of Turin, lies Moriondo Torinese, among fields, scattered vineyards and copses on the slopes. People live in the hills and work in town, and the population is holding up while many similar villages lose residents.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 835 residents at the end of 2023, up 1.8% on 2011. The average age is 48.0, slightly above the 47.4 of the metropolitan city, and over-65s are 29.0%. Households have 2.37 members on average and declared income is close to the provincial figure.

The market offers village houses, detached homes built in recent decades and farmhouses (cascine) to restore. With a cascina, do the sums carefully: roof, systems, insulation and drainage can cost more than the purchase itself. Commuters should try the rush-hour drive to Chieri and Turin.

On earthquakes, Moriondo Torinese is in zone 4, the lowest in the classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, like 41 of the 312 municipalities around Turin; the expected ground acceleration is about 0.043 g. Cracks in older houses should still be looked at, because on clay hills they can come from the ground rather than the structure.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published and the report traces the address to its land parcel, reading the official landslide and flood maps at the exact spot.

Key points

  • Hills between the Chieri area and Asti, east of Turin.
  • Population up 1.8% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 4, expected acceleration about 0.043 g.
  • Farmhouses to restore: work out costs before the offer.

Overview

Moriondo Torinese is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 835 residents, ranked 214 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Moriondo Torinese 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 0.043 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.
