Colloredo di Monte Albano, the castle and the hills above Udine
On the glacial hills north-west of Udine, Colloredo di Monte Albano is a municipality of scattered villages among meadows, vineyards and copses, with the castle of the Colloredo counts at its heart. The castle is linked to the writer Ippolito Nievo, who spent long periods there. Udine is a short drive away and is the place for work, hospital care and the university.
There were 2,177 residents in 2023, down 2.4% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.4, in line with the province, and 28.2% are over 65. Foreign nationals are few, at 4.0%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.
Housing is mostly detached homes with gardens, old Friulian courtyard houses and a few compact hamlets around their churches. The hills are gentle, but in the outlying villages the distance to schools and shops needs thinking about: Overture Maps data show 2 schools and 1 pharmacy across the municipality.
Earthquakes are the main issue. Colloredo is in seismic zone 2, like 71 municipalities in the province of Udine, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.237 g. Many buildings were rebuilt or strengthened in past decades, so for any house ask for the year of construction, the structural work done and the test certificates. Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published and the report starts from the address.
