Felizzano, the Tanaro plain between Alessandria and Asti

Felizzano lies on the Tanaro plain, along the route linking Alessandria and Asti, with the first Monferrato hills not far away. The centre is compact, with the church and streets of two-storey houses, surrounded by cereal fields, poplar plantations and farmsteads. Alessandria is close by and is the reference for work, secondary schools and the hospital.

For a buyer the location is convenient: you live in a lowland village and reach the provincial capital in a few minutes, with Asti and Turin further on. Most homes are village houses with courtyards and a few small blocks of flats, while the countryside has large farmsteads, sometimes in need of renovation. On a plain near the river, check the official flood maps for the exact address. The climate zone is E, with fog and cold winters.

The population has shrunk considerably. According to Istat, the Italian national statistics office, there were 2,089 residents in 2023, down 13.7% on 2011. The average age is 50.1, above the 48.9 of the province of Alessandria, and over-65s make up 30.3%. Foreign residents account for 8.4%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

Felizzano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.048 g. In farmsteads and brick houses, rising damp, the roof and services matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: the report traces the plot from the address and measures distances to schools, pharmacies and shops.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Felizzano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 60 of 187 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.048 g, a low 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.
