Vejano, a tuff village in southern Tuscia

In the southern part of the province of Viterbo, where the Tuscia area starts to look towards Rome, Vejano is a village built on a spur of tuff, the soft volcanic stone of this region, surrounded by fields, pasture and woods. The old centre is tightly packed, with houses pressed against each other, while outside it the countryside opens up with scattered houses and farmhouses.

House hunters have two options. In the village you find homes on several floors, often with steep stairs and rooms cut into the tuff, which need checking for damp and the state of the floors. In the countryside there are farmhouses and detached houses with land, easier to live in but further from services. Rome remains within driving distance for those who commute. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,142 residents in 2023, down 6.8% on 2011. The mean age is 48.8, a little above the 47.5 of the province; over-65s make up 28.7% and foreign residents 6.1%.

Vejano is in seismic zone 2, like 39 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.101 g. In the tuff houses of the centre, ask whether consolidation work has been done and how walls and floors are tied together.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report starts from the address and shows the land parcel, the local price band and, for that spot, the official landslide and flood maps, useful where houses sit on the edge of the spur.

For anyone buying in Vejano, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
