Fiume Veneto, spring-fed rivers on the plain below Pordenone

Fiume Veneto is a municipality on the Friulian plain just south of Pordenone, crossed by the watercourse it is named after and by other spring-fed rivers. The land is flat and green, made up of a main village and several hamlets, with fields and small business areas.

For people working in Pordenone it is a practical choice. The city centre is a handful of kilometres away and the A28 motorway runs nearby, towards Portogruaro and Venice on one side and Conegliano on the other. Homes are mainly detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats, often with gardens; in the hamlets there are still old farm courtyards waiting to be restored. Services counted per resident are generally a little below average, because secondary schools, the hospital and major offices are in Pordenone.

There were 11,821 residents in 2023, up 2.9% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics institute. The estimated average age is 45.3, lower than the provincial figure, and over-65s make up 22.9% against 25.1%. Foreign residents account for 6.9%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

Friuli has not forgotten the 1976 earthquake, and in the province of Pordenone 13 municipalities, towards the mountains, are in seismic zone 1. Fiume Veneto, on the plain, is in zone 3, yet expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is still about 0.165 g, which is not negligible. For a house built before recent regulations, ask for the structural design and any work carried out.

Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are available. Water is everywhere here, from spring-fed rivers and a high water table to the floods of the rivers on the lower Pordenone plain. Cellars and basement rooms are the first to suffer, and the report checks the official flood maps for the address.

Key points

  • Spring-fed plain south of Pordenone, near the A28.
  • Over-65s at 22.9%, against 25.1% in the province.
  • Seismic zone 3, yet expected acceleration about 0.165 g.
  • High water table: check cellars and flood hazard by address.

Overview

Fiume Veneto is a municipality in the province of Pordenone, in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. At the end of 2023 it had 11,821 residents, ranked 8 of 50 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Fiume Veneto is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 10 of 50 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.165 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Fiume Veneto is in climate zone E, with 2,452 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 20 metres above sea level.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 19.5% of the land in Fiume Veneto, compared with 8.5% in the province and 8.1% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 0.9 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Fiume Veneto is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Friuli Venezia Giulia in 2024. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Fiume Veneto, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Fiume Veneto: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Fiume Veneto are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 62 inhabited census areas in Fiume Veneto. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 68 or more.
