Strambino, in the Canavese just south of Ivrea

Strambino lies on the plain of the Canavese, a few kilometres south of Ivrea in the metropolitan area of Turin, not far from the river Dora Baltea and the glacial hills that close the view to the north. The town has a compact old centre and several hamlets scattered through farmland, with old farmhouses, meadows and maize fields.

For commuters the location works well. The Chivasso to Ivrea and Aosta railway has a station in town and the Turin to Aosta motorway passes nearby, so Turin is reachable by train or car. Ivrea, a few minutes away, has a hospital and secondary schools, and its industrial past with Olivetti shaped many of the surrounding villages.

This is an older community: 28.1% of residents are over 65, against 26.4% in the metropolitan area, and households are small, 2.09 people on average. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,047 residents in 2023, down 4.6% since 2011; average age is 48.7 and foreign nationals are 6.6%. Incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Strambino is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department classification, like most municipalities around Turin (271 of 312), but expected ground acceleration in the town is low, about 0.042 g. In the stone and brick houses of the centre and in farmhouses, insulation, windows and the boiler matter more: this is climate zone E, with cold and often foggy winters.

Near the Dora and the irrigation canals it is worth checking the flood maps, which the report reads for each address. Cadastral maps are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
