Tinnura, the mural village of the Planargia

Tinnura is a small village in the Planargia, the upland behind Bosa in central western Sardinia, now part of the province of Oristano. It is known for the murals painted on the fronts of its houses, showing farming life and local traditions. The village lies at about three hundred metres and the sea is close: the coast at Bosa and the mouth of the Temo river are where people go in summer, while for the hospital, secondary schools and offices they head to Bosa, Macomer or Oristano.

The climate is mild, in climate zone C, with short winters and hot, breezy summers. Homes are mostly one or two-storey village houses, often with a courtyard, some built in local stone. For a buyer the state of the roof, rising damp in the walls and the quality of the wiring and plumbing matter more than heating. Average declared incomes are in line with the province, slightly above in fact.

In 2023 Istat, Italy's statistics office, counted 248 residents, 20 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 7.5%. The estimated average age is 52.0, against 49.8 in the province, and over-65s make up 35.9%. There are few foreign residents, 2.8%.

Earthquake risk is low: all 87 municipalities in the province of Oristano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection scale, and in Tinnura the expected ground acceleration is about 0.050 g. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here. The report starts from the address, finds the land parcel and measures how far schools, pharmacies and shops are from that exact point.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Tinnura is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
