Salisano, a hill village in the Sabina

Salisano belongs to the Sabina, the band of hills in the province of Rieti that looks towards the Tiber valley and Rome. The village stands at around 460 metres, with the old centre gathered at the top and newer houses along the roads leading down. Many residents work elsewhere and drive to the towns of the Sabina, to Rieti or to the capital.

If you plan to work in Rome or Rieti and live here, travel time is the first point: test it before deciding, at the hours you would actually commute. Village houses often spread over several levels, with stairs and narrow access; detached houses outside the centre almost always come with a garden or land.

In 2023 there were 477 residents, 14.5% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 49.6 is slightly above the province's (48.1), while over-65s make up 31.7%, against 27.1%. Foreign residents are 4.4%. Average declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Salisano is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection department's national scale, like 60 of the 73 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.157 g. In a masonry house in the old centre, ask whether strengthening work has been done; for newer buildings, ask for the design year.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report gets from the address to the land parcel. Landslide hazard on the hillside changes from plot to plot: the report reads it on the official maps for the address.

For anyone buying in Salisano, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

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.
