For example: Via Don Luigi Gasco 1, Torre Mondovì.

Torre Mondovì, the Casotto valley above Mondovì

Torre Mondovì lies in the Val Casotto, one of the valleys climbing from the Mondovì area towards the Ligurian Alps, with its centre at about 460 metres and several hamlets scattered along the stream and up the slopes. Mondovì, with its hospital, secondary schools and station, is the reference town and is a short drive away.

The population here is growing: 542 residents in 2023 against 494 in 2011, up 9.7%, and foreign residents make up 27.7%. The average age is 46.3, close to the provincial 46.3, and over-65s make up 24.9%. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Cuneo.

Homes are mostly stone hamlet buildings, some restored, others in need of work. The climate zone is E, but anyone choosing a higher hamlet should expect longer winters, roads to be cleared of snow and higher heating bills. Water supply, drainage and internet coverage are also worth checking.

The province of Cuneo spans several seismic zones. Torre Mondovì is in zone 3, like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.071 g. For stone houses, ask whether structural work has been done and check the condition of the roof.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps cover the municipality and the report links the address to its parcel. In a narrow valley the exact spot matters: distance from the stream and the slope of the hillside are read on the official maps for each plot.

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