Agliè, the ducal castle and the Canavese hills

The first thing you see arriving in Agliè is the castle: the great residence once owned by the House of Savoy dominates the town and is one of the Savoy Residences listed by Unesco. Around it lie the hills of the Canavese, between Turin and Ivrea in Piedmont, with meadows, woods and farmland, at about 300 metres. The centre is gathered round the castle and its squares, with old houses and porticoes.

For buyers, Agliè offers the calm of a town with its own identity and a castle that draws visitors all year. Houses in the centre are often historic buildings with inner courtyards, while villas and newer homes are on the edges and in the hamlets. Turin can be reached by car, but the drive is not short, so city commuters should factor it in. For larger services the reference is Ivrea or Cuorgnè.

The population is 2,596 (2023 figure from Istat, the national statistics office), slightly down by 1.8% since 2011. Over-65s make up 27.0%, close to the metropolitan area average of 26.4%. Foreign residents account for 9.6%. Average incomes are a little below the provincial figure.

The seismic hazard is low: Agliè is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.045 g, among the lowest values in the classification. In old houses in the centre, the main concerns are the roof, damp and wiring.

In a protected historic centre, find out early what you are allowed to change on the façade and inside. For each address the report shows the cadastral maps, nearby services and the official landslide and flood maps.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
