For example: Via Canevale 1, Coreglia Ligure.

Coreglia Ligure, on the slopes of the Fontanabuona

The Fontanabuona is the long valley of the Lavagna torrent running behind the Tigullio coast, and Coreglia Ligure occupies one of its sides, at around three hundred metres, with houses scattered among chestnut woods, olive trees and terraces. The valley floor just below carries the provincial road linking the valley villages with Chiavari on one side and the hinterland of Genoa on the other.

For buyers the location is a compromise. The sea at Chiavari and Rapallo is a reasonable drive away, but the house stays in quiet hill country, away from coastal traffic. Services are in the valley-floor towns and on the coast. Houses are often stone, built into the slope, with terraced land that needs looking after. The climate zone is E.

In 2023 Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 255 residents, 19 fewer than the 274 of 2011, a fall of 6.9%. The estimated average age is 48.5, close to the 49.0 of the province of Genoa, and over-65s make up 23.5%, less than the provincial 29.1%. Foreign residents account for 3.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

For earthquakes the municipality is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 64 of the 67 municipalities in the metropolitan area, with an expected acceleration of about 0.095 g. More than tremors, on Ligurian slopes what counts is dry-stone walls, drainage and ground stability. The report measures slope and checks landslides on the official maps for the address, starting from the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Coreglia Ligure is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (64 of 67) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.095 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 6.9%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 29%). Foreign residents make up 3.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.0 members.

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 10 inhabited census areas in Coreglia Ligure. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 57 or more.
