Roletto, the Pinerolo area at the foot of the mountains

Roletto is a small municipality in the Pinerolo area of the Turin metropolitan area, where the plain meets the first mountains. The village lies at the foot of wooded slopes, with meadows and orchards running down to the plain, and Pinerolo, a short drive away, is the reference for services, schools and hospital care. Turin is within commuting distance by car.

The market is made up of detached houses, small villas and old rural homes, with a few low apartment blocks. Houses towards the mountain have more view and greenery, but also narrower roads and slopes to assess; those lower down are closer to services. The report measures elevation and gradient at the address and reads the official landslide maps and flood maps along the streams coming down the slopes. The climate zone is E.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 1,984 residents at the end of 2023, down 0.3% on 2011, so essentially stable. The average age is 47.8, against 47.4 for the metropolitan area, and 27.0% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 4.8%. Declared incomes are close to the metropolitan average.

Roletto is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the metropolitan area, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.128 g. Earthquakes are not unusual in the Pinerolo area, so for an older house ask what work has been done on the roof, floors and wall connections.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the building's land parcel.

Key points

  • Pinerolo area municipality at the foot of the mountains.

Overview

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Roletto 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 (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.128 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 number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Roletto is in climate zone E, with 2,868 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 412 metres above sea level.

Radon and contaminated sites

Roletto is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 2 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Roletto. 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 Roletto: 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 Roletto 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 35 inhabited census areas in Roletto. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 69 or more.
