Cuceglio, a hilltop village in the Canavese

In the Canavese, the northern part of the Turin area that looks to Ivrea, the plain is broken by low wooded hills, and Cuceglio occupies one of them, with its old centre at the top and newer houses along the roads running down to the fields. It is a landscape of vines, woods and meadows, with many isolated houses.

People who buy here generally work outside the village, in Ivrea, in the Canavese towns or in Turin. Everything depends on the car, and journey times to Turin need testing at rush hour. The village has few services; secondary schools, the hospital and larger shops are in the nearby towns. The market offers stone and brick village houses, detached houses from recent decades and farmhouses with land.

In 2023 there were 912 residents, 8.5% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 49.2 against 47.4 in the Metropolitan City of Turin, and over-65s make up 27.7% against 26.4%. Households average 2.09 people, foreign residents account for 10.6% and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial figure.

On earthquakes, Cuceglio is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities around Turin, but expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, at 0.044 g. In older houses, the roof, damp and the heating and electrics matter more than earthquakes.

The report checks the individual address against the official landslide maps, relevant for houses on the hillside, and against the flood maps for the flat areas. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report traces the land parcel from the house number.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cuceglio is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

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