Cigliè, a hill village looking to Mondovì

Cigliè is a small hill municipality in the province of Cuneo, southern Piedmont, at around 550 metres, with Mondovì as the reference town for secondary schools, the hospital and shopping. The village has a compact centre and houses scattered over the slopes among meadows, fields and woods, linked by narrow provincial roads.

The population here has changed little since 2011. In 2023 there were 190 residents, against 196 in 2011, a fall of 3.1%, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age, 48.0, is close to the provincial figure (46.3), and over-65s, at 25.3%, are in line with the province's 25.1%. Households average 2.11 people and foreign residents account for 4.2%.

Homes for sale are mostly village houses and farmsteads, often with land. On a hillside, look at which way the house faces, drainage around the walls and the state of retaining walls in gardens and along drives. Climate zone E means cold winters: the energy performance certificate and the age of the boiler give a fair idea of running costs. You will need a car for any service.

Earthquake hazard is low. Cigliè is in seismic zone 4 under the Civil Protection classification, like 106 of the 247 municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.063 g. In older houses, roofs, floors and damp are what count.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel and reads the official landslide and flood maps for that plot.

Key points

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cigliè is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 106 of 247 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.063 g, a moderate 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.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 6 inhabited census areas in Cigliè. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 58 or more.
