Casarsa della Delizia, the railway, the Tagliamento and Pasolini
Casarsa della Delizia is the town of Pier Paolo Pasolini's mother. The writer spent his youthful summers here, wrote his first poems in the Friulian language here, and is buried in the local cemetery; a study centre in the town is devoted to his work. Day to day, though, Casarsa is a farming and small-industry town on the Friulian plain, between Pordenone and the Tagliamento river, surrounded by vineyards and fields.
The railway is its main asset. Casarsa is on the Venice to Udine line and is the junction for the branch to Portogruaro, so people working in Pordenone, Udine or eastern Veneto can commute by train. To the east, road and rail cross the wide bed of the Tagliamento on the Delizia bridge towards Codroipo. The municipality also includes the village of San Giovanni, with its own centre and newer housing on the edges.
In 2023 Casarsa had 8,258 residents, down 2.2% since 2011, or 182 fewer people. It ranks number 15 by population among the 50 municipalities in the province of Pordenone. It is slightly younger than the surrounding area, with an estimated average age of 45.9 against 46.6 and over-65s at 23.9%. Foreign residents make up 12.4%, and average incomes are just below the provincial level.
Western Friuli has a serious earthquake history, especially along the foothills: 13 municipalities in the province are in zone 1, the highest band of the national classification set by the Civil Protection department, and 27 are in zone 2. Casarsa, on the plain, is in zone 3, yet the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.159 g. For a house from the 1960s or 1970s, ask whether structural work was carried out after 1976.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report can trace an address to its plot. Near the Tagliamento riverbed and along the irrigation channels, flooding is checked for the individual house.
