Conzano, hills and vineyards of the Casale Monferrato area

The hills around Casale Monferrato, with their rows of vines and villages perched on the hilltops, are Conzano's landscape. The village stands at around 260 metres in the province of Alessandria, and Casale Monferrato, with its services, schools and hospital, is the nearest reference point for everyday life.

Buyers here find brick houses in the centre, often with a courtyard and cellar, and farmhouses or country houses with land on the hills. With a rural building, budget for the roof, damp and services, and check that past extensions and changes of use appear in the town hall's records. Winters are cold and damp, in climate zone E.

In 2023 there were 931 residents, down 8.3% on 2011. The average age, 49.1, is practically the same as the province (48.9); over-65s make up 28.8% and foreign residents 4.8%. Declared incomes are a little above the provincial average.

Two seismic zones coexist in the province of Alessandria: Conzano is in zone 4, like 60 municipalities, while another 127 are in zone 3. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, 0.043 g. On the Monferrato hills, slope stability matters more than earthquakes, and with an old house it pays to look carefully for cracks in the walls.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Conzano. The report starts from the address, finds the parcel and checks it against the official landslide and flood maps, as well as giving the local price range.

Overview

Conzano is a municipality in the province of Alessandria, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 931 residents, ranked 77 of 187 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Conzano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 60 of 187 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

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.

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.
