Aramengo, hills and scattered houses in the north of Asti province

Hills, woods, fields and houses scattered along the ridges: Aramengo is a small municipality in the north of the province of Asti, in a landscape of rolling knolls, with a small main village and several hamlets spread through the countryside. Asti and Turin are the reference cities for work, both reachable by car.

People buying here often want a country house or a farmhouse to restore, with land around it. Before falling for the view, check the access road, which may be unmade or steep, the connection to mains water and sewerage, and the state of the structure. The ground on these hills should also be checked for landslides: the report reads the official maps at the exact point of the address. The climate zone is E.

In 2023 there were 570 residents, 9.8% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 50.5, just above the province's 47.9, and over-65s make up 28.4%. Foreign residents account for 8.6% and households average 1.95 people. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low: Aramengo is in zone 4 of the Civil Protection classification, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.041 g. In brick and stone farmhouses, damp, roofs and the condition of timber floors matter more.

The land registry is published: with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps the report links the address to its land parcel, which also helps to see which plots of land come with the house.

Key points

  • Hills and scattered hamlets in the north of Asti province.

Overview

Aramengo is a municipality in the province of Asti, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 570 residents, ranked 64 of 117 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Aramengo 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 0.041 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 9.8%. The estimated average age is 51 years, higher than the province average (48). 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 8.6% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.
