Morlupo, on the Rome to Viterbo railway north of the capital

The train is the reason many families choose Morlupo. The town is on the Rome to Civita Castellana and Viterbo railway, the old Roma Nord line, which runs into Piazzale Flaminio, a short walk from Piazza del Popolo. It lies on the tufa hills north of Rome, between the Via Flaminia and the Tiber valley, at around two hundred metres.

The historic core is small and most homes are in the residential districts that have grown around it: detached houses, low-rise blocks and houses with gardens. Journey times by train, and by road on the Flaminia at rush hour, vary a lot, so test them before deciding. People moving out from Rome get more space for the same money and in return accept using the car for almost everything else.

In 2023 there were 8,476 residents, up 4.4% on the 8,122 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 46.4, close to the provincial 46.0, and over-65s make up 23.4%. The share of foreign residents stands out at 15.8%, high for a town of this size. Households are small, 2.16 people on average, and declared incomes are below the average for the province of Rome, which the capital pushes up.

Most municipalities in the metropolitan area, 97 out of 121, are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification. Morlupo is one of the 24 in zone 3, with expected acceleration of about 0.108 g. For houses built between the 1970s and the 1990s, ask for the structural documents and the certificate of fitness for occupation.

Tufa forms steep walls and deep gullies. Along the edges of the ravines the report checks landslide hazard, and along the streams flood hazard, always at the exact address; with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps it traces the plot.

Key points

  • Direct trains to Piazzale Flaminio on the Rome to Viterbo line.
  • Population up 4.4% since 2011, foreign residents at 15.8%.

Overview

Morlupo is a municipality in the province of Roma, in Lazio. At the end of 2023 it had 8,476 residents, ranked 50 of 121 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Morlupo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3A. Only 24 of 121 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.108 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.
