Cellarengo, hills in the western part of the Asti area

Cellarengo has roughly the same number of residents as in 2011: at the end of 2023 there were 716, a change of +0.3% on the 714 of the census. It goes with an average age of 46.6, lower than the provincial 47.9, and over-65s at 24.9% against 27.3%. Foreign residents make up 8.7%.

The village lies in the western part of the province of Asti, at about 320 metres, among low hills, fields and copses. It is a farming and residential community with only basic services of its own: for schools, shopping and work people go to nearby towns, and Turin and Asti can be reached by car. Average declared income is close to the provincial figure, just below it.

The housing is typical of the Piedmont hills: village houses, farmhouses (cascine) with a courtyard and land, and a few newer detached homes. With a farmhouse, check the roof, rising damp, the systems and utility connections, and budget for heating through climate zone E winters. The report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the exact address and measures the elevation and slope of the ground.

The earthquake picture is calm: Cellarengo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, like 112 other municipalities in the province of Asti, and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.046 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: the report traces an address to its land parcel and building.

Overview

Cellarengo is a municipality in the province of Asti, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 716 residents, ranked 54 of 117 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cellarengo 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 0.046 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 8.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.
