Asigliano Vercellese, among the rice fields south of Vercelli

In spring, when the paddies are flooded, the plain around Asigliano Vercellese turns into a sheet of water. The village lies a few kilometres south of Vercelli, in the heart of Italy's rice country, just over 100 metres above sea level, with farmsteads scattered among the fields and a compact centre of low houses and courtyards.

Vercelli is the point of reference for everything: work, secondary schools, the hospital and the railway station. Being so close makes Asigliano a good fit for people who want a house with outdoor space without moving far from town. There are village houses with yards, detached homes and the odd farmstead to restore, which needs checks on roofs, services and the permitted use of the buildings.

The population is holding up: 1,364 residents in 2023, down only 2.6% since 2011. The average age is 47.7, a little lower than the provincial 48.4, and 26.0% are over 65 against 28.0%. Foreign nationals make up 6.0%, and declared incomes are in line with the Vercelli average.

Earthquakes are not a major concern here: Asigliano is in seismic zone 4, like 80 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.037 g. On the rice plain water matters more, with damp ground, a shallow water table and irrigation channels. For a house with a cellar or basement, check for seepage and damp, and the report reads the official flood maps at the address.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available for the whole municipality.

Key points

  • Rice plain, a few kilometres south of Vercelli.
  • Population down only 2.6% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 4, expected acceleration 0.037 g.

Overview

Asigliano Vercellese is a municipality in the province of Vercelli, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,364 residents, ranked 23 of 82 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Asigliano Vercellese is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (81 of 82) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.037 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 2.6%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 26% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.0% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.
