Albiano d'Ivrea, the morainic hills of the Canavese

Albiano d'Ivrea is a village in the Canavese, south of Ivrea, inside the morainic amphitheatre, the arc of hills left by the ancient Aosta Valley glacier where it met the plain. The landscape is made of low ridges, meadows, woods and small lakes, with the river Dora Baltea not far away. Ivrea is the reference point for work, schools and the hospital, and Turin is under an hour by car.

House hunters can choose between homes in the centre, often old Piedmontese houses with a courtyard, and villas built on the edge of the village. The former have thick walls and generous space but need work on roofs, the heating and electrics and insulation; winters are cold and damp (climate zone E). In low-lying spots near ditches and fields, check ground floors for damp.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,617 residents in 2023, down 9.7% since 2011. The population is older than the provincial average: average age 48.7 against 47.4, over-65s at 28.7%. Households are small, averaging 2.09 people, and foreign residents make up 5.8%.

The province of Turin has 271 municipalities in seismic zone 3 and 41 in zone 4. Albiano is in zone 3 but with a low expected ground acceleration of 0.041 g, so for an old house upkeep and the condition of the timber roof structure matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report works back from the address to the land parcel. The official flood maps, useful near the Dora and the ditches, are read for the individual address.
