Sanluri, in the farming heart of the Campidano

Sanluri is a farming town on the Campidano plain, beside the main trunk road that links Cagliari with the north of the island. Its name is tied to the Battle of Sanluri in 1409, when the Aragonese defeated the army of the Giudicato di Arborea, and to the medieval castle that still stands in the town. Today it is joint capital, with Villacidro, of the province of Medio Campidano, an area of wheat fields, villages and low hills.

In a town like Sanluri, alongside flats there are traditional courtyard houses in the old centre and plots of land with buildings in the countryside. For properties like these, paperwork makes all the difference. The report's documents section explains how to obtain the certificato di destinazione urbanistica, which states what the municipal plan allows on a piece of land, the cadastral record (visura) and map, and how to request access to the building files at the town hall (Comune) to check that the property matches its permits.

The plain has its own checks too. Flood hazard along streams and drainage channels can vary from one field to the next, and the report verifies it at the address together with landslide hazard.

There is nothing to distinguish on seismic risk: all 28 municipalities in Medio Campidano are in zone 4, the least hazardous. In older houses, often built with traditional techniques, the condition of the walls, damp and roofs matter more.

Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are available for Sanluri, and the report works from the address point back to the sheet and parcel number.

Overview

Sanluri is the capital of the province of Medio Campidano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 8,070 residents, ranked 0 of 28 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Sanluri is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 28 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate 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.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood risk changes from one street to the next, even within the same municipality: for this reason we do not summarise it as a single figure for the whole of Sanluri.

The report checks the exact address against the ISPRA national maps and tells you in plain words whether the building falls within an at-risk area. The official map is also available on IdroGEO.

House prices

We do not publish price tables by municipality. The report gives the minimum and maximum price per square metre for the address's zone, from the Revenue Agency's OMI valuations, with the reference half-year. It is a range for the zone, not the value of a specific home.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 4.6%. The estimated average age is 49 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.0% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Public transport

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

Land registry

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps for Sanluri: the report finds the building's parcel, that is its sheet and parcel number, starting from the address.
