Tax regimes

Tonara qualifies for the 7% pensioner regime. Comfortably below the 30,000-resident ceiling.

Qualifying is about the town. Whether it applies to you depends on criteria no map can check — where you were tax-resident before, and where your income comes from.

How the 7% pensioner regime works, and every qualifying comune →

This lists the regimes we’ve published. Others exist that we haven’t encoded yet — we add one only once it has been checked against the legislation — so this isn’t a complete account of what might apply to you.

Seismic zone

Tonara is in seismic zone 4. Of the four zones, zone 1 is the highest hazard and zone 4 the lowest. The Department of Civil Protection describes zone 4 as the lowest-hazard zone, where a strong earthquake is very unlikely.

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.

Hospital, airport and daily-needs distance

Nearest hospital: P.O. San Camillo, about 10.9 km / 10 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest hospital with inpatient beds in the Ministero della Salute's 2023 list. A hospital with beds is not necessarily one with an emergency department. Ministero della Salute (2023); positions and roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest emergency department: P.O. San Camillo, Sorgono (Pronto Soccorso), about 10.9 km / 10 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II or Pronto Soccorso. A Pronto Soccorso is not the same as a DEA: a DEA is a larger emergency department with more specialties on site. It is not a service guarantee; confirm with the local health authority.

Nearest DEA (level I or II): P.O. San Francesco, Nuoro (DEA level I), about 66.2 km / 57 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II, leaving out Pronto Soccorso sites. A DEA is a larger emergency department with more specialties on site; level II adds the most complex care. It is not a service guarantee.

Nearest airport: Cagliari Elmas Airport (CAG), about 121.7 km / 95 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest of the airports where ENAC recorded at least 4,000 passengers in 2025; this leaves out two airports that carried almost none (Taranto-Grottaglie, Brescia-Montichiari). It says nothing about flights or routes. ENAC (2025); OurAirports; roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest supermarket (OpenStreetMap): Eurospar, about 1.2 km / 2 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest supermarket as OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped it. There is no official national list, so a store missing from the map is missing here. Small grocers and corner shops are not counted, so a village with a local alimentari but no supermarket shows a longer time than its real food shopping. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest pharmacy: Farmacia Zucca Antonietta, about 0.6 km / 1 minute by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest pharmacy in the Ministero della Salute's open register (ordinary and branch pharmacies; dispensari with limited hours are left out). It says nothing about opening hours or night and Sunday duty. Ministero della Salute (open register of pharmacies, IODL 2.0); roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest railway station (OpenStreetMap): Desulo-Tonara, about 6.8 km / 6 minutes by road from Tonara (the main town).

The nearest railway station with passenger service as OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped it (metro, tram, funicular and heritage lines are left out). RFI publishes no national open list. It does not say how often trains stop there or where they go. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Measured by road from the main town of the comune (its OpenStreetMap place point; the geographic center for the few comuni with none), at free-flow speeds with no traffic. It is approximate. For Tonara, a trip from your own address can take longer or shorter. Drive the route before you rely on it, and ask the local health authority which hospital serves the town. Shops, pharmacies and stations are the nearest to the main town, not to your address.
