For example: Corso Centrale 1, Chiaverano.

Chiaverano, at the foot of the Serra above Ivrea

Chiaverano is in the Canavese area just north of Ivrea, inside the morainic amphitheatre: the ring of hills left by the ancient Dora Baltea glacier, with the long ridge of the Serra closing the horizon. The village sits at the foot of these hills, among meadows, woods and the small glacial lakes found across the area.

For work, the reference point is Ivrea, a few minutes away, and beyond it Turin and the Aosta Valley. Housing ranges from the stone-built historic core to detached houses with gardens on the lower slopes. People choose it for space and greenery while staying close to a town with services, secondary schools and a hospital.

Istat, the national statistics institute, recorded 1,979 residents in 2023, down 6.0% from 2,106 in 2011. The population is older: average age 50.1, above 47.4 for the province of Turin, with over-65s at 30.9%. Foreign residents make up 6.2%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Chiaverano is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of 0.043 g in the built-up area, both low values. In stone houses it is still worth having the roof and floors checked, and on sloping plots look at rainwater drainage and damp in walls set against the hillside.

Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published. The report reaches the land parcel from the address and shows the official landslide and flood maps, useful for houses near streams or the small lakes.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Chiaverano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.043 g, a low 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.
