Property prices

To buy

€743 /m²

Buying in Casola in Lunigiana is far below the Massa-Carrara average of €1,514/m². Averaged across 2 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town. OMI records no rental figures here.

OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square meter, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.

Agenzia delle Entrate — Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare (OMI), semester 2025 H2. Figures are midpoints of OMI’s surveyed ranges for “Abitazioni civili” in normal condition — a guide to the market, not a valuation of any particular property. OMI is Agenzia delle Entrate’s official range of market values per m², built from recorded sales and appraisals. Asking prices on listing sites are what sellers hope for, and usually run higher.

Seismic zone

Casola in Lunigiana is in seismic zone 2. Of the four zones, zone 1 is the highest hazard and zone 4 the lowest. The Department of Civil Protection describes zone 2 as a zone where strong earthquakes are possible.

This is the legal classification the Region gave the comune, used for planning and for control of building works. It is not a forecast, and it says nothing about the building you are looking at: since the 2018 building code the design load of a new building comes from site-specific hazard, not from the zone. Have any specific property checked by a qualified engineer.

Not to be confused with the “seismic” routes of the 7% pensioner regime. Those turn on whether the comune was in the 2009 L’Aquila or 2016–17 central-Italy earthquake areas, not on its zone, and being in zone 1 does not make anyone eligible for that regime, or for any tax treatment.
