Scandriglia, Sabina below the Lucretili mountains

Scandriglia is a Sabina village on the slopes coming down from the Lucretili mountains, with its historic centre on a rise above 500 metres and a territory that spreads out through olive groves, woods and hamlets. The Via Salaria runs not far away and is still the main road for anyone heading to Rome or to Rieti.

In recent years the village has drawn new residents. Istat, the Italian statistics office, counted 3,227 people in 2023, up 10.0% since 2011, and foreign residents make up 16.3%, a sizeable presence. Newcomers often look for a detached house with land or a village house to fix up, in exchange for longer journeys. Measure the commute carefully, especially at rush hour.

The average age is 46.1, lower than in Rieti province (48.1), and 23.5% are over 65. Declared incomes are below the provincial average. Climate zone E brings cold winters, so in a poorly insulated stone house heating bills can be significant.

Scandriglia is in seismic zone 2, like 59 other municipalities in Rieti province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.157 g in the built-up area. The central Apennines have a significant earthquake history, so in village houses check the masonry, floors and roof. On the slopes the report also looks at the gradient and the official ground maps for the address.

For anyone buying in Scandriglia, 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.
