Basiliano, a cluster of villages on the plain west of Udine

Basiliano is a group of hamlets spread over the Friulian plain west of Udine, between the city and Codroipo. As well as Basiliano itself there are Villaorba, Basagliapenta, Blessano, Vissandone, Variano and Orgnano, each with its own church and centre. The land is almost flat, made up of fields, rows of trees and houses with courtyards, and many families still speak Friulian.

Udine is a quarter of an hour by car, and the Udine to Venice railway runs through the municipality with a station at Basiliano, a real advantage for anyone working in the city or towards Pordenone. The market offers traditional Friulian masonry houses, often with outbuildings and an orchard, detached homes from recent decades and a few flats. Older houses are roomy but costly to heat, as this is climate zone E. Many services are in Udine or nearby towns; locally there are 12 bars and restaurants, or 2.33 per 1,000 residents against 6.03 in the province.

Istat, the Italian statistics office, counted 5,161 residents in 2023, down 3.6% on 2011. The average age is 47.6 against 48.5 in the province of Udine; 26.8% are over 65 and 7.3% are foreign nationals. The average income is a little below the provincial figure. There are 6 schools, or 1.16 per 1,000 residents against 1.07 in the province.

In Friuli the 1976 earthquake left behind a widespread habit of prevention. The province has 19 municipalities in seismic zone 1 and 71 in zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale. Basiliano is in zone 3, but the expected ground acceleration, about 0.175 g, is still significant. For a stone and brick house built before 1976, ask whether it was repaired or strengthened after the earthquake and what work was done.

On the plain the report checks flood-prone areas along irrigation channels and ditches for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report can go from the address to the plot.

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