Radicondoli, wooded hills west of Siena
Among the wooded hills west of Siena, towards the Colline Metallifere, Radicondoli is a medieval village on a hilltop at around 500 metres, surrounded by holm oak and oak woods, fields and isolated farms. The municipality covers a large area with very little built-up land, and unsurfaced white roads link farmhouses and hamlets. Siena is the city for the hospital, university and offices, while for shops and work people also look to Colle di Val d'Elsa and Poggibonsi.
Radicondoli has gained residents in recent years: 965 in 2023, up 3.7% on the 931 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Foreign residents make up 23.3% of the population. The average age is 49.1, against 47.6 in the province of Siena, and over-65s are 29.5%.
The market is typical of the Siena countryside: stone houses in the village, farmhouses and farms with land, often restored by people from other regions or from abroad. For an isolated farm, check access in the rainy months, water supply, drainage and internet connection, as well as whether outbuildings and extensions are properly permitted.
The province of Siena has municipalities in three seismic zones, as classified by the Civil Protection Department. Radicondoli is in zone 3, like 31 of the 35 municipalities, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.140 g. For a stone farmhouse, checking the walls and roof is the first step before any restoration plan.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps: the report finds the land parcel from the address, even in open countryside, and checks the official landslide and flood maps.
