Clauzetto, looking over the Friulian plain from the foothills

Clauzetto is known as the balcony of Friuli, and the reason is clear when you arrive: from the Pre-Alps, at about 550 metres, the view opens over the Friulian plain to the horizon. The municipality also includes the Pradis area, known for the caves cut by the river Cosa. For secondary schools, shops and work, people drive down towards Spilimbergo and the towns of the plain.

The population is old, with an estimated average age of 55.8 against 46.6 for the province of Pordenone, and over-65s make up 38.3% of residents against 25.1% provincially. In 2023 there were 373 residents, down 4.4% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, and households average 1.67 people.

The point not to overlook is earthquakes. Clauzetto is in seismic zone 1, the most severe class on the Civil Protection Department's scale, with 12 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.256 g. After 1976 many houses in this area were repaired or rebuilt: buyers should ask for the plans of the work, the year of construction and any later structural surveys.

At this altitude winter is climate zone F, with snow and months of heating. On the slopes, the gradient and the official landslide hazard maps are checked plot by plot, and the report shows them for the address.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Clauzetto, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel.
