Rivodutri, springs and woods north of the Rieti plain

Above the Rieti plain, on the slopes of the mountains that close it to the north, Rivodutri is a village at around 550 metres whose land is woods, pasture and water. Lower down are the Santa Susanna springs, the source of a river that flows into the plain. Rieti is close by and is the reference for work, the hospital and schools.

The municipality is split between the hill village, with stone houses set against the slope, and scattered hamlets lower down towards the plain. Buyers mostly find family houses needing updating and a few newer villas. In climate zone E, insulation and heating weigh heavily on running costs.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,137 residents in 2023, 12.3% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 49.0, against 48.1 in the province, and 28.5% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 6.9%. Declared incomes are slightly below the average for the province of Rieti.

The Rieti area is earthquake country, and Rivodutri is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department scale, along with 59 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.206 g. For a masonry house, ask what structural work has been done, who designed it and how it was signed off.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the municipality, and the report finds the plot from the address. On the slopes gradient and landslides matter, on the plain the areas that can flood: both are checked on the official maps.
