Antignano, hills and vineyards on the edge of Asti

Near enough to Asti to drive there every day, far enough to be surrounded by vineyards and fields rather than warehouses: Antignano sits in the hills a short way from the city. Houses spread along the slopes out to scattered farmsteads.

Buyers often choose between a house in the village, near the few services, and a rural property in the hills that needs work. In the second case access, orientation and the land itself matter. The report measures the elevation and gradient at the house and checks the official landslide maps, as well as the flood maps for the valley floors.

The population is older than the provincial average: over-65s at 33.8% against 27.3% in the province of Asti, with an average age of 51.6 against 47.9. In 2023 there were 955 residents, down 6.8% since 2011. Foreign residents make up 4.6%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Earthquakes carry little weight. Antignano is in seismic zone 4, along with 112 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.043 g. In farmhouses and solid brick houses, look mainly at the roof, timber floors and damp in the walls.

For a purchase with land the cadastre matters: the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes its maps here and the report traces the address to the land parcel. Distances to the pharmacy, school and supermarket are measured from the house itself, which helps when it is outside the centre.

Overview

Antignano is a municipality in the province of Asti, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 955 residents, ranked 40 of 117 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Antignano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (113 of 117) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.043 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 6.8%. The estimated average age is 52 years, higher than the province average (48). 34% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Antignano declared an average taxable income of 26,306 euros, above the provincial average (24,302 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Antignano is in climate zone E, with 2,622 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 260 metres above sea level.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Antignano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is low. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no open contaminated sites in Antignano; one has been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Antignano: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Antignano are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 16 inhabited census areas in Antignano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 57 or more.
