Osasio, farmland on the plain south of Turin

Fields of cereals and fodder crops, large farmsteads and a compact village centre: that is Osasio, a farming municipality on the flat land south of Turin, in the Carmagnola area. Hills and mountains are on the horizon, but life here is on the flat.

Many residents work outside the village. Carmagnola is close by, with its railway station, shops and secondary schools, and Turin can be reached by car or by combining car and train. The village has the basics and little more. House hunters will find detached and semi-detached houses from recent decades next to historic farmsteads, some divided into several homes. In a divided farmstead, get courtyards, rights of way and shared parts clear before signing the deed.

In 2023 Osasio had 919 residents, up 0.7% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is younger than in the Metropolitan City of Turin as a whole: the average age is 45.9 against 47.4, and over-65s make up 24.5% against 26.4%. Households average 2.29 people and foreign residents account for 4.9%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial figure.

Osasio is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities around Turin, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.073 g. The practical advice is to check the condition of roofs and floors in older buildings.

On the plain, what counts is how close you are to canals, irrigation ditches and streams, so the report reads the official flood maps for the individual address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report goes from the house number to the land parcel.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
