Coazzolo, Moscato hills on the edge of the Langhe

Coazzolo lies in the Moscato hills, on the western edge of the province of Asti, where the Asti area meets the Langhe and the province of Cuneo. The landscape is steep vineyards, with the village on the ridge and farmhouses scattered around. Castagnole delle Lanze is the nearby town for everyday services, with Alba and Asti the cities for work and secondary schools.

The population is younger than in the rest of the province. In 2023 there were 300 residents, down 5.1% on 2011, but the estimated average age is 43.6 against 47.9 in the province, and over-65s are 21.3% against 27.3%. Households average 2.36 people. Foreign residents account for 9.0%.

The housing market is tied to the vineyards. Many homes are farmhouses belonging to wine estates or rural buildings with land, and alongside residents' homes there are houses restored for holiday lets. Buyers should check distances and rights of way to the vineyards, whether extensions have planning approval, and the state of roofs and walls, often in solid brick.

Earthquakes are a minor concern: Coazzolo is in seismic zone 4 under the Civil Protection classification, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.046 g. On the clay slopes here, settlement and rainwater drainage matter more.

The report for the address reads the official landslide and flood maps, useful on sloping ground, and reaches the land parcel through the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Overview

Coazzolo is a municipality in the province of Asti, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 300 residents, ranked 99 of 117 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Coazzolo 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.

The estimated average age is 44 years, lower than the province average (48). 21% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 9.0% of the population.
