Serrone, on the Ernici mountains above the Sacco valley

Serrone looks down on the Sacco valley. The village sits on the slopes of the Ernici mountains, in the northern part of the province of Frosinone, at over 700 metres, while the municipality runs down into the valley, where the district of La Forma has grown along the road. It is an area of vineyards and olive groves, within the Cesanese wine district, with Fiuggi and Anagni as the nearby towns.

For buyers the difference between the two levels is clear. Up top, the old centre has stone houses packed together, narrow steep streets and a wide view over the valley; down below there are newer detached houses and small blocks, handy for people working in the valley's industrial area or travelling towards Rome, which is reached by car via the A1 motorway. Winters are cold at this height, climate zone E.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 2,954 residents in 2023, down 3.7% since 2011. The average age of 47.4 is close to the provincial 46.8, over-65s make up 26.1% and foreign nationals 6.1%. Incomes are almost exactly at the provincial average.

Serrone is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.155 g. Stone houses in the centre need careful assessment: ask whether walls and floors have been strengthened. On the hillside the slope of each plot matters too, and the report checks elevation, gradient and the official landslide maps for the address, plus flood maps in the lower part.
