Torrita Tiberina, above the bends of the Tiber

The Tiber flows below, with its wide bends and wooded banks, and Torrita Tiberina looks down on it from a hilltop in the stretch of valley north of Rome. The old village is small and compact; around it, on the hills, there are olive groves, fields and scattered houses, with newer building along the roads leading down towards the river.

Many residents work in Rome or in the valley towns, so journey times by car need factoring in. Buyers find houses in the old centre, often on several levels with no parking nearby, and detached houses with gardens in the countryside. The climate zone is D, with mild winters. Declared incomes are below the average for the Rome metropolitan area.

Torrita has held on to its population: 1,090 residents in 2023, 1.8% more than in 2011. The average age is 48.1, against 46.0 in the province of Rome, and 26.1% of residents are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 10.0%.

For earthquakes the municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 96 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.147 g. For a masonry house in the old village, ask about any strengthening work and the state of the roof.

Between the hilltop village and the valley floor, conditions vary a great deal: near the Tiber the issue is flooding, at the edges of the hill it is landslides. The report reads both from the official maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality.
