Safe rooms and panic rooms in Turin and Piedmont: NetCom Security Group designs and builds, with its own technicians, the secure room of the house, in the villas of the Turin hills, in Monferrato, in the Langhe and on the Piedmont shores of Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore.
A safe room, also called a panic room, is the room where the family locks itself in and stays protected, with communications active, until help arrives. A cellar with thick walls is not yet a safe room: it becomes one with a door, air, communications and procedures designed around the people who will use it. In Piedmont we often design it for business families, in houses well known in the village, who ask for discreet protection.

In brief
Where it is done in Piedmont
The basement room
In Piedmont the answer to the question "where do we build it?" is often already under your feet. The villas of the hills and the houses of Monferrato have cellars and basements with earth-retaining walls in stone or concrete, vaulted ceilings and a single access door: the envelope is largely already there. Four things remain to be completed.
The cellar door is almost always a service door: it is replaced with a protected door that closes from inside in one movement. Air: a closed basement without ventilation becomes unbreathable in a short time; we design a protected air intake and an independent air exchange with backup power. Communication: underground the phone has no signal, so the room has its own line. Finally the ceiling: if the living room is above and the floor structure is light, it is completed from the inside.
The room remains invisible from the living area and the cellar goes on being a cellar: a room used every day is a room everyone knows how to reach in the dark. If the family prefers a room near the bedrooms, we create it there.
Well-known families, discreet protection
Whoever runs a family business is known in the village, and so is the house. The safe room is part of a wider design: a perimeter that warns early, cameras at the gate, access control for collaborators and staff, home automation that closes the openings. We design everything together, with our own technicians, and connect the system to selected external monitoring centres, without turning the villa into a fortress.
How we design it
- Confidential site visit. We look at the house, who lives in it, the daily routines, the routes, the basements and the time it takes for help to arrive.
- Scenario analysis. Intrusion with people at home, home robbery, emergency situations: for each one we decide where to lock in and for how long.
- Design of the room. Position, size, continuous envelope (walls, ceiling, floor), door and lock, air, light, backup power, independent communications.
- Integration with the system. Alarm, cameras, access control and home automation talk to the room: whoever is inside sees and communicates, whoever is outside does not get in.
- Installation and testing. Our technicians carry out the installation; at the end we test everything together with the people who will use the room and hand over the written procedures.
What makes a room secure
Safe room, strongroom, bunker
They are three different things. A safe room protects people for minutes or hours. A strongroom or vault protects valuables, resisting break-in for a long time. A bunker or shelter is for external events, for days, with filtered air. The needs can be combined in a single project: we decide after the site visit. For an overview read safe rooms and panic rooms.
Confidentiality
We sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving floor plans or documents. We ask only for the data needed for the project. Our clients' homes remain confidential, even after the works.
Where we work
We follow projects in Turin and throughout Piedmont, all over Italy and, by project, in Europe. Our office is in Negrar di Valpolicella (Verona): for Turin and Piedmont we arrange the site visit within a few days. The other areas: where we work in Italy.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a panic room cost in Turin?
In Turin the cost of a panic room, in the experience of NetCom Security Group, depends on the size of the room, the level of protection of the envelope and the door, the air, light and communication systems and the building works needed in the house. After the site visit NetCom prepares a written bespoke proposal.
Is a safe room tax-deductible in Italy?
In part it can be: anti-theft works, such as armoured doors and reinforcements, are among the measures admitted by the Italian Revenue Agency. For expenses in 2026 the deduction is 50% for the owner's main home and 36% in other cases, up to 96,000 euros per property, in ten annual instalments. The specific case must be checked with an accountant.
Can the cellar become a safe room?
Yes, and it is often the best choice: earth-retaining walls and vault already exist. NetCom adds a protected door, independent ventilation and a communication line that reaches out from underground, and checks the ceiling.
Can you breathe in a basement room?
Yes, if the ventilation is designed: NetCom installs a protected air intake and an independent air exchange with backup power, sized on the number of people and the time spent inside.
Who does the work?
Our own technicians: NetCom designs, supplies, installs, connects to the system and tests. Structural works are signed off by licensed professionals.
Our house is well known in the village: will the panic room be noticed?
No: NetCom creates it in an existing room, behind a door that looks like any other door, and the system blends into the house without changing its appearance.
