Torre San Giorgio, a plain village in the Saluzzo countryside

With Monviso on the horizon on clear days, Torre San Giorgio sits on the Cuneo plain, in the countryside near Saluzzo. The centre is compact, surrounded by fields and farmsteads; Saluzzo and Savigliano are the towns for schools, services and work, a short drive away.

The population is holding up: there were 720 residents in 2023, up 1.6% on 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). The average age is 45.9, slightly below the provincial 46.3, and over-65s make up 25.0%, as in the province. Foreign residents account for 5.6%. Average declared income is above the average for the province of Cuneo.

Homes are mostly detached houses with gardens, alongside older farmsteads, sometimes already split into several units. When assessing a farmstead, check that alterations were properly authorised, the state of the roofs and the cost of heating large rooms: this is climate zone E, with cold, foggy winters. On the plain, the report checks the official flood maps for the individual plot, which matter near ditches and canals.

Seismic hazard is moderate. Torre San Giorgio is in zone 3, like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.107 g. For rural masonry buildings it is worth checking the load-bearing walls and the roof.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Torre San Giorgio is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (141 of 247) are in the same zone.

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