Pralormo, the tulip castle between Turin and the Roero

Every spring the grounds of Pralormo castle fill with tulips for the Messer Tulipano show, which draws visitors from all over Piedmont. For the rest of the year Pralormo is a quiet farming municipality at the south-eastern edge of the Metropolitan City of Turin, on a plateau of fields and woods facing the Roero and Asti hills.

For anyone working in Turin, the drive runs through the towns around Poirino, and journey times need careful thought at rush hour. In return you mostly find detached houses, farmhouses and homes with gardens, in an area with little building. Outside the centre, the distance to shops, schools and pharmacies matters, and the report measures it from the exact address, as does the state of the country lanes.

In 2023 there were 1,891 residents, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 2.8% on 2011. The average age is 46.2, below the 47.4 of the Metropolitan City, and over-65s are 25.0%. Foreign residents are 9.0%. Declared incomes are below the Turin area average.

Earthquake hazard is low: Pralormo is in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, like 40 other municipalities in the province, with an expected acceleration of 0.047 g. For an old farmhouse, the roof, damp walls, insulation and boiler matter more, as the climate is zone E.

The Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps, and from the address the report identifies the land parcel, handy for telling apart the buildings and land of a farm. Near the streams and small lakes of the area, flood maps are read for the same address.

Key points

  • Castle and Messer Tulipano, the spring tulip show.

Overview

Pralormo is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,891 residents, ranked 136 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Pralormo 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 0.047 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.8%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 9.0% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Pralormo declared an average taxable income of 24,391 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Pralormo is in climate zone E, with 2,808 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 303 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Pralormo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Pralormo. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Pralormo: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry
