For example: Via Roma 1, Trana.

Trana, at the mouth of the Val Sangone

Trana lies where the Val Sangone opens onto the Turin plain, between Giaveno and Avigliana, with the Sangone stream flowing below the village and the first mountains behind. The Avigliana lakes are a short distance away. For many it is a residential base for commuting to Turin or to the towns on the city's western edge.

Buyers will find varied ground: houses and villas in the main village and along the main roads, and scattered hamlets on the slopes, with stone houses, vegetable plots and woods. In the hamlets, narrow roads, gradients, winter sunshine and distance from services all count; in older houses, roofs, damp and services. Average declared incomes are below the level for the province of Turin.

In 2023 there were 3,749 residents, down 3.4% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.9 against 47.4 in the province, and over-65s make up 24.7%. Foreign residents account for 6.1%.

Trana is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, but its expected ground acceleration in the built-up area, about 0.108 g, is higher than on the Turin plain. For masonry buildings it helps to know whether structural work has been done. With the town hall above 350 metres and climate zone E, winters are cold.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps. Between the Sangone riverbed and the wooded slopes, the report checks gradient and the official flood and landslide maps for the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Trana is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.108 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Radon and contaminated sites

Trana is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Trana, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Trana: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Trana are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 32 inhabited census areas in Trana. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 73 or more.
