Aisone, in the Stura valley on the road to the Maddalena pass

The road climbing from Cuneo towards the Maddalena pass and France, in the Stura di Demonte valley, runs past Aisone. The village sits at around eight hundred metres on the valley floor between Demonte and Vinadio, with the Stura river just below and mountains closing the view on both sides.

That position matters to buyers in two ways. Cuneo, with its jobs, secondary schools and hospital, is reached along a single road without leaving the valley. But the same road is also the route to the pass and carries lorries as well as cars, so for a house close to it, check the noise at different times of day. The climate is classed as zone F, a reminder that winters are long and heating is a real cost.

The municipality is small and losing residents. In 2023 there were 213, compared with 254 in 2011: 41 fewer, a fall of 16.1%. The estimated average age is 53.6, against 46.3 for the province of Cuneo; over-65s are 40.8% and foreign residents 2.3%. Households average 1.85 people.

Aisone is in seismic zone 3 (the classification of Italy's Civil Protection department), like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.146 g. The risk is moderate, but in stone mountain houses the roof, the ties between walls and floors and the condition of the masonry deserve a look. The river and the slopes vary a lot from one spot to the next: the report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the exact address, and Revenue Agency cadastral maps are available.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Aisone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. Most municipalities in the province (141 of 247) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.146 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 16.1%. The estimated average age is 54 years, higher than the province average (46). 41% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 2.3% of the population.
