Flaibano, a village on the upper Friulian plain west of Udine

Flaibano is a farming village on the upper Friulian plain, west of Udine. The land is flat, with fields of maize and soya, meadows and rows of trees, and on clear days the Pre-Alps show on the horizon. The centre is compact, with houses lined along the streets and the inner courtyards typical of Friulian villages.

People who live here usually work in Udine or in the industrial towns of the plain, and get about by car. The market is mainly detached houses and old courtyard houses, often with outbuildings and a yard, which lend themselves to being divided or extended. Before buying, look at the roof, insulation and systems, as this is climate zone E with cold winters. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

There were 1,086 residents in 2023, 9.3% fewer than in 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). The average age is 47.4, a little below the province of Udine's 48.5, and over-65s make up 25.7% against the provincial 27.8%. Foreign nationals account for 6.0%.

Friuli is earthquake country and buyers here need to bear it in mind. Flaibano is in seismic zone 2, like 70 other municipalities in the province, while 19 are in zone 1; expected ground acceleration is 0.196 g. Many houses in the area have been rebuilt or strengthened in recent decades: ask for the paperwork on that work and the year the structure was designed.

The report checks the official flood maps for the address, useful near the watercourses and canals of the plain. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and show the parcel, including for courtyards with several buildings.
