Turri, a farming village in the Marmilla

In the Marmilla, an area of low hills and open fields in south-central Sardinia, Turri is a small farming community at around 160 metres, with low houses along a handful of streets and countryside all around. The climate is mild, climate zone C, with hot summers and short winters.

Buyers here mostly find traditional masonry houses, often built round an inner courtyard, and a few more recent buildings at the edge of the village. These houses need attention to roofs, rising damp in the walls and services, but they offer space. For offices, secondary schools and healthcare, people drive to the larger towns of the province or towards Cagliari.

The population is elderly and shrinking. In 2023 there were 375 residents, 15.2% fewer than the 442 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Over-65s make up 40.0%, against 28.9% for the province, and the estimated average age reaches 53.7. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Sardinia is quiet when it comes to earthquakes: all 28 municipalities in Medio Campidano are in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection Department's scale, and expected ground acceleration in Turri is about 0.050 g.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality. From the address the report reaches the land parcel and checks the official flood maps, useful where a house stands near a drainage channel or a natural gully.

Turri is a municipality in the province of Medio Campidano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 375 residents, among the smallest in the province (25 of 28).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Turri 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.

The estimated average age is 54 years, higher than the province average (49). 40% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 3.5% of the population.
