Quincinetto, the last Piedmont village on the Dora Baltea

Heading up the Dora Baltea valley, Quincinetto is the last municipality in Piedmont before the Aosta Valley. This is the northern Canavese, in the province of Turin: the village sits on the valley floor and the lower slopes, with terraced vineyards on the hillsides and woods higher up. The A5 motorway between Turin and Aosta has an exit at Quincinetto, a real advantage for anyone working towards Ivrea or up in the Aosta Valley.

Its position in the valley creates two different situations. On the valley floor houses are easier to reach but close to the river and the side streams; on the slopes there is more sun and a view, with steep roads and sloping plots. Either way, the report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the address, and here that check is worth doing every time.

There were 980 residents in 2023, down 6.5% from 1,048 in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 50.4, against 47.4 across the metropolitan area of Turin, and over-65s make up 31.8%, against 26.4%. Households average 2.05 people and foreign residents are 4.0%.

Quincinetto is in seismic zone 3, as classified by the Civil Protection Department, like the great majority of municipalities in the Turin area (271 out of 312), with expected ground acceleration of 0.048 g. The climate is zone E: cold winters, though milder than in the villages higher up the side valleys.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps: the report finds the land parcel from the address and shows the local price band.

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