Rondissone, flat farmland north-east of Chivasso

On the plain between Chivasso and the Canavese area, Rondissone is a farming village that has gained residents in recent years. The land is flat, planted with cereals and crossed by irrigation channels, and being close to Chivasso, a railway junction on the lines to Turin and Milan, makes it an option for people who work around Turin but prefer a small village. The A4 motorway between Turin and Milan also runs nearby.

Homes are mostly detached houses with gardens, alongside the old courtyard houses of the centre. Anyone buying a courtyard house often has to deal with shared courtyards and rights of way with other owners, which should be clarified before completion. For buildings near the channels or watercourses, the report checks the official flood maps for the address.

At the end of 2023 there were 1,911 residents, according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 4.2% on 2011, or 77 more people. The average age is 46.4, below the 47.4 of the Metropolitan City of Turin, and over-65s are 25.0%. Foreign residents are 5.7%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low: Rondissone is in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection scale, like 40 other municipalities around Turin, with an expected acceleration of 0.040 g. In an older house, insulation, windows and the boiler matter more than earthquakes, as the climate is zone E.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published, and from the house number the report identifies the building's land parcel.

Key points

  • Village on the plain near Chivasso, between Turin and Canavese.

Overview

Rondissone is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,911 residents, ranked 135 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Rondissone is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 4.2%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 5.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Rondissone declared an average taxable income of 24,164 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Rondissone is in climate zone E, with 2,670 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 211 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Rondissone has 3 schools and 1 pharmacy. The Overture Maps data also lists 1 grocery shop.

The data shows no healthcare facilities within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.7 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 18.9% of the land in Rondissone, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Rondissone 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 no contaminated sites in Rondissone.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Rondissone: 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 Rondissone 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 19 inhabited census areas in Rondissone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
