Corneliano d'Alba, the Roero hills next to Alba

Corneliano d'Alba is one of the villages of the Roero hills, on the left bank of the Tanaro, a short distance from Alba. Its land is split between the flat part towards the river, with fields, orchards and industrial buildings, and the sandy hills planted with vineyards and hazelnuts. Alba, with its industry and services, is the daily reference for work and secondary schools.

Being close to Alba shows in the figures. Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,139 residents in 2023, up 5.0% on 2011, while many villages in the province are losing people. The mean age is 46.0, close to the 46.3 of the province of Cuneo; over-65s make up 23.4% and foreign residents 9.8%.

Buyers have a range of options: detached houses and recent blocks in the lower part, homes in the old centre below the hill, and farmhouses scattered among the vineyards. Near the Tanaro, read the official flood maps; on the steep Roero hillsides, the slope of the plot matters. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Earthquake risk is low: Corneliano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.049 g. In older houses, insulation, the roof and the wiring and heating count for more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report derives the land parcel from the address, with the local price band and distances to services.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Corneliano d'Alba is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 106 of 247 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
