Buttrio, wine hills and a railway south-east of Udine

Buttrio lies south-east of Udine, where the Friulian plain meets the first hills of the Colli Orientali, an area of white and red wines with designation of origin. The municipality is split between the hillside part, with vineyards, villas and farms, and the lowland part along the road to Manzano and Gorizia, with the centre, residential districts and a major industrial area: Buttrio is home to the Danieli group, one of the world's leading builders of steelmaking plants.

The municipality has a station on the Udine-Gorizia railway, and Udine can also be reached by car in a few minutes. The market offers detached houses and small villas, flats in low blocks and, on the hills, country houses with a vineyard or garden. Average declared incomes are above the average for the province of Udine.

In 2023 there were 3,926 residents, down 2.8% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Average age (48.6) and the share of over-65s (27.1%) are in line with the province, and foreign residents make up 10.2%.

Friuli is one of the most earthquake-prone regions in Italy: in the province of Udine 19 municipalities are in seismic zone 1 of the Civil Protection classification and 71 in zone 2. Buttrio is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.201 g, a medium-high value. For houses built before current standards, ask about surveys and structural work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address back to its plot. On the hills, gradient and small slope failures matter; on the plain, streams and channels: both hazards are read from the official maps for the exact point of the house.
