Fanna, Pordenone's foothills below the Carnic Prealps

Fanna lies where the Friulian plain meets the Carnic Prealps, in the foothill belt of the province of Pordenone, not far from Maniago. Behind the village the first wooded slopes rise; in front opens the upper plain with its fields and vineyards. It sits low, under three hundred metres.

It is a quiet residential village, with detached houses, old Friulian homes with courtyards and some newer buildings. There are 5 recorded services: for secondary schools, hospitals and work, people look to Maniago, Spilimbergo and Pordenone, reached by car. Average incomes are below the provincial level.

There are 1,467 residents, down 5.7% since 2011. The population is older than average: an average age of 48.7 against 46.6 for the province, and over-65s at 28.7% against 25.1%. Foreign nationals make up 9.7% of residents.

Here the issue not to underestimate is earthquakes. Fanna is in seismic zone 1, the highest class on the Civil Protection scale, like 12 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.254 g. Friuli learned a great deal about building after 1976: before buying, ask for the year of construction, any upgrading work and the structural paperwork, especially for stone houses.

Wide gravel-bed streams come down from the mountains. The report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the address and gives the cadastral details of the land parcel.

For anyone buying in Fanna, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
