Andreis, in the Valcellina among the Friulian Dolomites

The Valcellina climbs from the plain around Pordenone towards the Friulian Dolomites, and Andreis sits on one of its slopes at about four hundred and fifty metres, among woods and rock faces. The municipality is part of the Friulian Dolomites Nature Park. The village is small, with a main centre and a few hamlets, and everyday life depends on the plain: for work, secondary schools and the hospital people drive down to Maniago and Pordenone.

This is mountain country with cold winters, in climate zone F. Houses are mostly stone, many of them rebuilt or strengthened in recent decades. A buyer needs to accept using the car for everything and driving a mountain road every day. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 245 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, against 282 in 2011, a fall of 13.1%. The estimated average age is 54.0, against 46.6 in the province of Pordenone, and over-65s make up 38.8%, far above the provincial 25.1%. Foreign residents account for 4.9%.

The figure to dwell on is earthquakes. Andreis is in seismic zone 1, the highest class on the Civil Protection scale, like 13 of the 50 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of about 0.253 g. For a stone house you need a structural survey and records of any work done; for a recent building, the design and the final structural inspection certificate. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report also checks landslides and rockfall for the address.
