Bagnasco, on the Tanaro between Ceva and Garessio

Bagnasco stretches along the floor of the Tanaro valley, on the stretch that climbs from Ceva towards Garessio and the Colle di Nava pass. The village is squeezed between the river, the main road and wooded slopes, and you can see that in the housing: some homes are a few steps from the water, others higher up on the hillside.

For a buyer, distance from the river is the first thing to check. For houses on the valley floor the report looks up the official flood maps for the exact address, and for those on the slopes the landslide maps. This is information for the individual plot: two houses on the same street can get different answers.

By car you reach Ceva, which has a junction on the Turin to Savona motorway, and from there you head towards the Cuneo plain or down to the Ligurian coast. Cuneo, the provincial capital, is further away, across the plain.

In 2023 the village had 961 residents, down 7.4% since 2011. Over-65s account for 29.4%, against 25.1% in the province of Cuneo, and the average age is 48.6. Foreign residents make up 14.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

For earthquakes Bagnasco is in seismic zone 3, along with 140 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.070 g. In older houses ask about the condition of the roof, walls and services. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published, and the report traces the address to its land parcel.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
