Priverno, between the Lepini mountains and Fossanova Abbey

Priverno lies where the Lepini mountains drop towards the Amaseno valley, in the inland part of the province of Latina. The medieval old town is on a hill; below it spread newer districts and farmland. Within the municipality are the Cistercian abbey of Fossanova, where Thomas Aquinas died, and the excavations of the Roman town of Privernum.

For anyone working in Rome or Latina, the strong point is Priverno-Fossanova station on the Rome to Naples line via Formia, with regional trains to the capital. The market reflects the town's two settings: stone houses in the old village, often needing work and on steep streets, and newer villas and flats below, close to services and the station.

There are 13,775 residents in 2023, down 0.8% since 2011. The average age is 45.6, close to the provincial figure, and foreign residents make up 10.1%. Average income is lower than the province. There are 14 schools on record, more per resident than the provincial average: the town is a reference point for the area.

Priverno is in seismic zone 3, like 29 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.089 g. In the masonry houses of the old town, ask whether walls, floors and roof have been strengthened.

In the flat Amaseno valley, crossed by canals, the report checks flood hazard; on the Lepini slopes, landslides.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Priverno 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. Most municipalities in the province (30 of 33) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.089 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 23%). Foreign residents make up 10.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Priverno is in climate zone C, with 1,352 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 November to 31 March, for up to 10 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 151 metres above sea level.
