Strambinello, a tiny village in the Canavese hills

Strambinello is a municipality of a few hundred people in the Canavese, the northern part of the Turin metropolitan area where the plain starts rising towards the Alps. The town hall is at about three hundred and fifty metres, among meadows, woods and small groups of houses scattered around the old centre. For work, secondary schools and hospital care people look to Ivrea, the main town of the Canavese; Turin is an option only if you accept a longer daily journey.

It is a quiet, residential place. Next to the old stone village houses there are detached homes with gardens and former farmsteads, some already renovated. Buyers here usually want space and peace and accept that the car is needed for almost everything, from shopping to the doctor. In climate zone E, insulation and the heating system affect running costs far more than finishes, so that is where to start when viewing a house.

Istat, Italy's statistics office, recorded 249 residents in 2023 and 264 at the 2011 census, a fall of 5.7%. The estimated average age of 50.0 is a little above the provincial figure of 47.4, and over-65s make up 30.1%. Foreign residents account for 3.2%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Strambinello is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with a low expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.046 g. In older houses, damp in the walls, the roof and the systems matter more. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and from the address the report also checks the position against watercourses and slopes.
