Reggello, from the Valdarno to the Vallombrosa forest

In Reggello you can live a short walk from the Arno or among the woods of the Pratomagno ridge without leaving the municipality. The land climbs from the valley floor of the upper Valdarno to the mountain area of Vallombrosa, with its abbey and large forest, and on to Saltino. The main village sits at around 400 metres among olive groves, and the parish church at Cascia holds the San Giovenale Triptych, the earliest work attributed to Masaccio.

Altitude makes a big difference to buyers. Up in the mountains winters are real mountain winters, with snow, winding roads and second homes opened mostly in summer. In the lower villages, such as Leccio, services and roads are closer: the A1 motorway has the Incisa-Reggello junction, and Florence and Arezzo are within driving distance. In between lie hill hamlets and houses scattered among the olive trees.

At the end of 2023 there were 16,536 residents, up 2.9% on 2011. The estimated average age is 47.3, the same as the metropolitan area of Florence (47.3); over-65s are 26.0% and foreign residents 7.1%. Schools are spread between the main village and the hamlets, and the report measures how far they are from the address.

In the metropolitan area of Florence, 13 municipalities, mostly in the Mugello, are in seismic zone 2 of the national classification. Reggello is in zone 3, like 27 others, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.132 g. With stone farmhouses and restored rural houses, ask how the walls and floors were strengthened.

On the Pratomagno slopes, landslide hazard is the first thing to check, plot by plot; on the valley floor near the Arno, flood hazard. The report reads both on the official maps and finds the plot on the land registry maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Key points

Overview

Reggello is a municipality in the province of Firenze, in Toscana. At the end of 2023 it had 16,536 residents, ranked 15 of 41 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Reggello is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (28 of 41) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.132 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 resident population has grown by 2.9%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 26% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 26%). Foreign residents make up 7.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Reggello is in climate zone E, with 2,363 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 390 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 6.2% of the land in Reggello, compared with 7.4% in the province and 6.2% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 0.6 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Reggello is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Toscana in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 3 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Reggello, and 5 more have been cleaned up or closed. 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 Reggello: 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

The cadastral maps for Reggello are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 109 inhabited census areas in Reggello. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
