Torrazza Piemonte, the plain beyond Chivasso towards Milan

Torrazza Piemonte is a municipality on the plain north-east of Turin, beyond Chivasso, near the Turin to Milan motorway. The land is flat and largely farmed, but in recent years large industrial and logistics sites have grown up beside the fields, bringing jobs and heavy goods traffic on the main roads.

For buyers the location cuts both ways. Turin and Chivasso are convenient and the motorway is close; on the other hand, look carefully at where the house stands in relation to the industrial areas and through roads, because noise and traffic vary a lot from one street to the next. The report shows what is around the address and the distances to schools and services. On the plain, the thing to check is watercourses and canals, using the official flood maps.

The town is growing: according to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,996 residents in 2023, up 6.4% since 2011. The average age is 46.4, slightly below the metropolitan area's 47.4; over-65s are 23.9% and foreign nationals 4.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake risk is the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, zone 4, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.040 g. Homes are mostly recent detached houses and small blocks, plus a few farmhouses: for these, check the roof, damp and systems before making an offer. Winters are climate zone E, with frequent fog.

Key points

  • Plain north-east of Turin, beyond Chivasso.

Overview

Torrazza Piemonte is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 2,996 residents, ranked 109 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Torrazza Piemonte is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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