Cavasso Nuovo, at the foot of the Pordenone Prealps

Cavasso Nuovo is a village in the foothill belt of the province of Pordenone, where the Friulian plain meets the first slopes of the Carnic Prealps. The land runs from fields and meadows lower down to woods on the hills, with clusters of stone houses and farm courtyards. Maniago and Spilimbergo are the nearby towns for services and work, and Pordenone, the provincial capital, is reached by car.

The main issue for buyers is earthquakes. Cavasso Nuovo is in seismic zone 1, the highest on the scale used by the Civil Protection Department, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.254 g; 13 of the 50 municipalities in the province of Pordenone are in zone 1. Many buildings in the area were rebuilt or strengthened after the 1976 Friuli earthquake: for any house on the market, ask for the design date, the structural work done and the permits behind it.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,496 residents in 2023, down 6.8% on 2011. The average age is 48.2, against 46.6 for the province; over-65s make up 27.9% and foreign residents 10.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Ground conditions change between plain and hillside: towards the hills the report checks the gradient and official landslide maps at the address, and near streams it checks the flood maps. The foothill climate (climate zone E) brings cold winters and plenty of rain.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole municipality.
