Calliano Monferrato, hills and vineyards north-east of Asti

Calliano Monferrato is a hill village in the Monferrato area north-east of Asti, among vineyards, fields and roads that follow the ridges. The centre sits high up, with houses clustered round the parish church, while the rest of the municipality spreads out into hamlets and farmhouses along the slopes. Asti provides work, secondary schools and the hospital, and is within driving distance.

In 2023 there were 1,212 residents, 12.9% fewer than the 1,392 of 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.9, slightly above the province of Asti (47.9); over-65s are 28.7% against 27.3% in the province and foreign residents 7.4%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

Much of the market consists of brick houses with courtyards and farmhouses with land, often with outbuildings to restore. Before buying, check the roof, timber floors, damp and drainage, and ask whether the house is on the mains sewer or has its own system.

Seismic hazard is low: Calliano is in zone 4 of the national classification, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.040 g.

The land registry is published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), and the report gets to the land parcel from the address. On the clay soils and slopes of the Monferrato hills it is worth checking the official landslide maps for the specific house, along with the flood maps on the valley floors.

Overview

Calliano Monferrato is a municipality in the province of Asti, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,212 residents, ranked 29 of 117 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Calliano Monferrato is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (113 of 117) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 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.
