Casalgrasso, the Po plain on the edge of the Turin area

Casalgrasso lies at the far north of the province of Cuneo, on the plain crossed by the Po, right by the border with the province of Turin. Carmagnola is the nearest town for the station, schools and shops, and Turin is within easy driving distance. The land is flat and farmed, with farmsteads, business premises and the village gathered around its centre.

The Po is the main issue for a buyer. Areas near the river and on lower ground need to be assessed one by one: the report checks the official flood maps for the exact address. In older houses and farmsteads, look at rising damp, cellars and roofs; in newer detached houses, the energy rating and paperwork.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,438 residents in 2023, a change of -0.7% since 2011: practically stable. The average age of 45.9 is close to the provincial 46.3, and over-65s make up 24.7%. Foreign residents account for 10.5%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Casalgrasso is in seismic zone 3, like 140 other municipalities in the province of Cuneo, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.074 g. On river-plain soils it is worth having any cracks or settlement looked at by a surveyor.

Climate zone E brings the cold, foggy winters typical of the plain. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Casalgrasso is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (141 of 247) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.074 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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