Tuili, Marmilla farmland beneath the Giara plateau

At the foot of the Giara di Gesturi, the basalt plateau where the small wild Giara horses roam, lies Tuili, a village in the Marmilla, an area of gentle hills and wheat fields in south-central Sardinia. A short way off is Barumini with the Su Nuraxi nuraghe complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The parish church of San Pietro holds a large painted altarpiece, or retablo, attributed to the Master of Castelsardo.

The village has the layout typical of farming towns in this part of Sardinia: courtyard houses with a gateway onto the street, inner yards, stone walls and, in many cases, unfired earth bricks. If you buy one of these houses, check damp, plaster and past repairs, and make sure the courtyard and outbuildings are correctly recorded in the land registry. For fuller services and the hospital you drive to the larger towns of the area or to Cagliari.

In 2023 there were 916 residents, down 13.7% on the 2011 census, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is elderly: the average age is 53.7 against 49.4 in the province, and over-65s make up 37.9% against 28.9%. Households average 2.09 people and foreign residents account for 1.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial figure.

Earthquake hazard is low, as across the island: all 28 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4 under the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration in Tuili of 0.050 g. The practical advice is about hot summers instead: roof insulation and shading make a real difference.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report goes from the house number to the land parcel and also checks the official landslide and flood maps.

Key points

  • Marmilla village at the foot of the Giara di Gesturi.
  • Stone and earth-brick courtyard houses: check damp and records.
  • Over-65s at 37.9%, against 28.9% in the province.
  • All 28 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4.

Overview

Tuili is a municipality in the province of Medio Campidano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 916 residents, ranked 19 of 28 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Tuili is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 28 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.050 g, a moderate 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 13.7%. The estimated average age is 54 years, higher than the province average (49). 38% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 1.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Tuili declared an average taxable income of 16,596 euros, below the provincial average (19,085 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Tuili has 2 schools and 1 pharmacy. The Overture Maps data also lists 3 grocery shops and supermarkets and 3 parks and green areas.

The data shows no healthcare facilities within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.5 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 3.2% of the land in Tuili, compared with 3.4% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Tuili is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Sardegna in 2022. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is low. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Tuili: 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 Tuili 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 6 inhabited census areas in Tuili. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 71 or more.
