Cavagnolo, between the Po and the first Monferrato hills

The river Po runs across the plain below Cavagnolo, and behind the village the hills begin their climb towards the Monferrato. This is the eastern edge of the metropolitan area of Turin: Chivasso is the nearest town for many services, and Turin is within commuting distance by car. The best-known landmark is the abbey of Santa Fede, a Romanesque church standing on its own in the countryside.

The municipality combines two kinds of landscape. The lower part holds the valley floor and the main roads, with most of the newer homes; up on the hill there are small hamlets with farmhouses and vineyards. For a buyer the differences are practical. On the hill, look at gradients, winter access and drainage; lower down, check the official flood maps for the Po and its side streams, which the report reads for the address.

The population is steady. Istat, the national statistics institute, counts 2,315 residents in 2023, up 0.3% on 2011. The average age of 47.4 matches the province, foreign residents make up 7.3% and households have 2.19 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, which is lifted by the Turin area.

Earthquakes are a minor factor. Cavagnolo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest class set by the Civil Protection Department, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.039 g. In older country houses the real costs tend to be the roof, damp walls and insulation, as this is climate zone E with cold, foggy winters.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for Cavagnolo, and the report traces the plot starting from the address.

Key points

Overview

Cavagnolo is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 2,315 residents, ranked 123 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cavagnolo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.039 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 7.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.
