Robilante, the Vermenagna valley on the Tenda road

Robilante lies in the Vermenagna valley, which climbs from Cuneo towards the Col de Tende and France, at around 690 metres. The main road to Tenda and the Cuneo to Ventimiglia railway both run through the village, and Cuneo is about twenty minutes away by car. All around are woods and mountains, with the ski slopes of Limone Piemonte higher up the valley.

For buyers, the location is convenient: mountain living with the provincial capital close by for work, secondary schools and hospital. Homes are mostly blocks of flats and detached houses built after the Second World War and in the decades since, with an older stone core. Winters are long and cold (climate zone F), so insulation and heating matter a great deal. Near the Vermenagna stream, read the official flood maps. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Cuneo.

The fall in population is noticeable: Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,121 residents in 2023, down 12.5% on 2011. The mean age is 47.1, against 46.3 in the province; over-65s make up 26.0% and foreign residents 7.5%.

Robilante is in seismic zone 3, like 140 other municipalities in the province of Cuneo, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.143 g. For a masonry building, ask whether any structural work has been done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report traces the land parcel from the address and shows elevation, slope and the official landslide maps for that spot.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Robilante is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. Most municipalities in the province (141 of 247) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.143 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.
