Roccagorga, a hill town in the Monti Lepini

In the Monti Lepini, in the inland part of the province of Latina, Roccagorga sits on a hill at around 300 metres. The historic centre is clustered at the top, with stone houses and steep lanes, and newer building has spread along the roads that run down towards a countryside of olive trees and small plots. Latina is about thirty kilometres away, Priverno much closer.

For daily commuters the reference point is the valley floor, which leads to the Pontine plain and to Priverno-Fossanova station, on the railway between Rome and Naples via Formia. Services in the town cover the basics, 17 in total in the data, and for shops and offices you go to nearby towns. Anyone considering a house in the old centre should allow for narrow access, little parking and, often, work on roofs and heating and electrics.

In 2023 there were 4,139 residents, 9.1% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 46.9, against 45.5 for the province, and over-65s make up 24.8%. Foreign residents account for 11.5%, a high share for a hill town. Declared incomes remain below the provincial average.

Roccagorga is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like most municipalities in the province of Latina (30 out of 33), while 3 are in zone 2. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.096 g. For stone houses in the centre, find out whether floors and roofs have been worked on and whether the walls show cracks.

The limestone slopes of the Lepini can produce landslides and rockfall, and the report checks them for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published for Roccagorga, so the report can go from the address to the land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Roccagorga is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3A. Most municipalities in the province (30 of 33) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.096 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.
