Fiorano Canavese, a small municipality near Ivrea

Ivrea is the reference town for Fiorano Canavese, a small municipality in the Canavese a short distance from Ivrea, between the Dora Baltea plain and the hills. People who live here shop, work and send their children to secondary school in Ivrea or the nearby towns; the village is mainly residential, with detached houses and a compact old core.

There were 729 residents in 2023, 108 fewer than in 2011 (a fall of 12.9%), according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is older than the Turin-area average: average age 51.4 against 47.4, over-65s at 32.8% against 26.4%. Foreign residents account for 5.1%. Declared incomes are below the metropolitan average.

For buyers, the choice is between houses in the old core, often of stone and brick, and detached homes built from the 1960s onwards. In the former, damp and roofs matter; in the latter, insulation and the boiler: this is climate zone E and winters are cold. If you are looking at a plot near streams or channels, check the official flood maps, which the report reads at the address.

Seismic hazard is low. Fiorano Canavese is in zone 3, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province of Turin, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.044 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published: the report traces the address to its land parcel and shows the elevation and planning constraints for the plot.
