Feisoglio, ridges and hazelnut groves in the Alta Langa

Above seven hundred metres, on the ridges of the Alta Langa, Feisoglio is a village of a few houses in local Langhe stone surrounded by hazelnut groves, meadows and woods. The hills here are higher and rougher than those of Barolo and Barbaresco, and farming is mainly hazelnuts. Alba is the town for work, secondary schools and services, along a road of bends and climbs.

In 2023 the village had 298 residents, down 13.4% on 2011, with an estimated average age of 54.4 against 46.3 for the province of Cuneo and over-65s at 40.6%, against the provincial 25.1%. Households average 1.87 people. Foreign residents account for 10.4%.

Alta Langa houses are built of the local sandstone, with thick walls and clay-tile roofs. Buyers should check the roof, damp in rooms set against the hillside and the state of the systems. The climate is climate zone F, with long, windy winters on the ridges: insulation and heating are serious costs.

On earthquakes, the province of Cuneo is split between zones 3 and 4: Feisoglio is in zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, like 106 of the 247 municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.051 g.

On Langhe slopes, landslips have to be checked plot by plot: the report for the address reads the official maps and, using the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps, traces the land parcel.

Key points

  • Alta Langa ridges, above seven hundred metres.
  • Over-65s at 40.6%, against 25.1% in the province.

Overview

Feisoglio is a municipality in the province of Cuneo, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 298 residents, ranked 181 of 247 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Feisoglio 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 the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.051 g, a moderate 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 13.4%. The estimated average age is 54 years, higher than the province average (46). 41% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 10.4% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

How built-up it is

Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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.
