Azzano Decimo, the low plain south of Pordenone

Just south of Pordenone the low Friulian plain begins, and Azzano Decimo is one of its main towns. The countryside is crossed by spring-fed rivers, channels and ditches, and the municipality has several hamlets spread among the fields. The economy is tied to local industry, including the furniture trade found in many towns between Pordenone and the river Livenza.

Pordenone is a few kilometres away for commuters, and the A28 motorway passes close to the town. Housing is mainly detached and semi-detached houses and single homes with gardens, plus farm buildings in the countryside; apartment blocks are less common than in the city.

At the end of 2023 Azzano Decimo had 15,767 residents, up 1.4% on 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office); by population it ranks number 4 in the province. It is younger than average, with an estimated average age of 45.0 against 46.6 and over-65s at 22.5%. Foreign residents make up 9.7%, and households average 2.45 people.

Western Friuli has significant seismic activity: in the province of Pordenone 13 municipalities are in zone 1 and 27 in zone 2, mostly in the foothills and mountains. Azzano Decimo, out on the plain, is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.153 g. For homes built before the 1980s, ask whether structural work has been done.

On a low plain full of water, flooding is the first thing to check, as river floods have hit the lower Pordenone area more than once. The report reads the official hazard maps for the exact address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps.
