Santo Stefano di Rogliano, hills south of Cosenza
On the hills south of Cosenza, in the Rogliano area, Santo Stefano di Rogliano is a village at around 650 metres, with a compact centre and newer areas along the roads running down towards the valley. Cosenza, with its university, offices and hospital, is the everyday reference, and the A2 motorway that crosses the area makes trips into the city fairly quick.
It is one of the municipalities in the area that has gained residents in recent years rather than losing them. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,748 residents in 2023, up 6.6% on 2011. The age profile backs this up: an average age of 43.1 against 46.1 in the province, over-65s at 20.3% and households of 2.59 people on average. Foreign residents are 1.2% and declared incomes are above the provincial average.
The homes for sale are partly older village houses and partly detached homes and small blocks built in recent decades for people working in the city. The climate zone is E: at this height winters are cold, so insulation and heating weigh on bills. For newer buildings look at the energy rating; for older ones, at the roof and floors.
Earthquakes cannot be skipped over. Santo Stefano di Rogliano is in seismic zone 1, like 64 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.276 g. Before buying, ask for the year of construction and the structural records, and have a surveyor assess the building.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: the report finds the land parcel and checks the slope and the official landslide and flood maps for that spot.
