Vallecorsa, a stone village in the Ausoni hills

Vallecorsa is a hill village in the Ausoni range, in the southern part of the province of Frosinone, away from the main roads. The old centre climbs a rise, with stone houses built against each other, arches and flights of steps, surrounded by olive groves, pasture and woodland. It sits in climate zone D, with winters milder than in the mountains further inland.

During the twentieth century many families emigrated abroad or moved to the cities. Houses in the centre are often large and old: roofs, wiring, plumbing and windows need a careful check before making an offer. A car is essential, including for larger services.

The figures from Istat, the national statistics office, bear this out: 2,395 residents in 2023, down 14.5% on 2011. The average age is 50.4 against 46.8 for the province, and over-65s reach 34.2%. Foreign residents make up 2.2%.

Almost all of the province of Frosinone is in seismic zone 1 or 2. Vallecorsa is in zone 3, one of 2 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.112 g. For a stone house it is still worth asking whether walls and floors were tied together during any renovation.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. From the address the report finds the land parcel, checks the official landslide maps for the slopes and measures how far the pharmacy, school and shops are from the house.

Key points

  • Stone village in the Ausoni hills, southern Frosinone province.
  • Over-65s 34.2%, average age 50.4.
  • Seismic zone 3, less exposed than most of the province.

Overview

Vallecorsa is a municipality in the province of Frosinone, in Lazio. At the end of 2023 it had 2,395 residents, ranked 47 of 91 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Vallecorsa is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3A. Only 2 of 91 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.112 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.

The estimated average age is 50 years, higher than the province average (47). 34% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 23%). Foreign residents make up 2.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.
