Villastellone, farmland between Moncalieri and Carmagnola

Fields, farmsteads and irrigation canals make up the countryside south of Turin, between Moncalieri and Carmagnola, where Villastellone lies. The Turin hills and the Roero can be seen on the horizon, but here the land is flat, and life moves between the compact centre around the parish church and the farming hamlets.

For buyers the main draw is location: Turin's southern suburbs are close, and by car you quickly reach the industrial and retail areas around Moncalieri, Trofarello and Carmagnola. Homes are mainly detached houses, villas and restored farmsteads, with a few blocks of flats in the centre. The data lists 24 services in the village; for secondary schools and healthcare people travel.

The population has fallen markedly. There are 4,362 residents, 10.3% fewer than the 4,864 of 2011. The average age of 47.4 matches the province (47.4), over-65s make up 26.2% and foreign residents 7.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The Turin plain is calm in terms of earthquakes: Villastellone is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the province, but the expected ground acceleration is low, about 0.054 g. In farmsteads and older houses, damp, the roof, insulation and heating matter more.

Water is the thing to watch. On a plain crossed by streams and canals, some areas can flood after heavy rain: the report reads the official flood maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are published and the report traces the plot.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Villastellone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.054 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.

Villastellone is in climate zone E, with 2,576 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 234 metres above sea level.

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.
