Ussaramanna, a village in the Marmilla

The Marmilla is the area of gentle hills and open fields in south-central Sardinia, and Ussaramanna is one of its villages, in the province of Medio Campidano. The village stands at around 160 metres, with a centre of low houses and courtyards surrounded by farmland. For services, schools and work, people drive to the larger towns in the area and to Cagliari.

The typical home is the courtyard house of the Campidano and Marmilla: one or two storeys facing an inner yard, often with walls of raw earth or stone. Anyone buying a building like this should have the damp at the base of the walls and the roof checked, since that is where most of the work tends to be. In climate zone C winter is mild, and summer heat matters more than cold.

In 2023 there were 475 residents, 14.6% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 54.3 against 49.4 for the province, and over-65s make up 37.3%, against 28.9%. Foreign residents are 0.8%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes carry minimal weight: all 28 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 4 on the Civil Protection department's national scale, and in Ussaramanna the expected ground acceleration is about 0.050 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. In the Marmilla countryside the main hazards concern water after heavy rain and the odd slope: the report checks flooding and landslides on the official maps for the exact address.

Overview

Ussaramanna is a municipality in the province of Medio Campidano, in Sardegna. At the end of 2023 it had 475 residents, ranked 24 of 28 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ussaramanna 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.
