Reano, hills between Val di Susa and Val Sangone

Reano is a small municipality on the hills west of Turin, between the mouth of the Susa Valley and the Sangone Valley, with the village halfway up the slope at around 450 metres and houses spread among woods and meadows. Turin is about twenty kilometres away and many residents work there, but daily life is that of a quiet hill village, with the plain below and the mountains behind.

The housing market is mostly detached and single-family houses with gardens, built in recent decades by people who chose to live outside the city, alongside older homes in the historic core. Declared incomes are above the provincial average. Steep roads, winter access and the distance to shops are practical points to weigh up, together with climate zone F, which means long winters and heating costs that should not be underestimated.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,746 residents in 2023, up 3.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.1, almost the same as the 47.4 of the province of Turin, and over-65s make up 25.0%. Foreign residents are 3.4% and households average 2.12 people.

For earthquakes, Reano is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.100 g. For a house built in the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural documents.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: from the address the report finds the land parcel and checks the slope and the official landslide maps, which on hillsides need reading plot by plot.

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

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 12 inhabited census areas in Reano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 75 or more.
