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: Via Tiberina 1, Nazzano.

Nazzano, a village above the Tiber north of Rome

Nazzano looks down on the Tiber from a tufa spur, in the river valley north of Rome where the metropolitan area borders the Sabina hills. Below the village lies the Nazzano Tevere-Farfa nature reserve, a stretch of river and wetland popular with waterbirds and walkers.

The old village is tightly packed, with houses built up against one another; newer buildings stand outside the historic core. Many residents look to Rome or the larger towns nearby for work, so check travel times carefully before buying. Average declared incomes are well below those of the metropolitan city as a whole.

There are 1,323 residents (2023), down 2.8% since 2011. The average age is 47.6, slightly above the metropolitan figure of 46.0, and over-65s are 25.5%. Foreign residents make up 11.8%.

Nazzano is in seismic zone 2, like 96 other municipalities in the metropolitan city, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.146 g. In the old village, where houses are often built against one another, find out whether the walls have been strengthened and how the building ties in with its neighbours.

Homes near the Tiber and those on the edge of the cliff face different conditions. The report starts from the address, finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps and checks the official flood and landslide maps for that spot.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Nazzano is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 2B. Most municipalities in the province (97 of 121) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.146 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Nazzano, 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.
