Fogliano Redipuglia, the War Memorial and the edge of the Karst
The Redipuglia War Memorial, the great monument to those who died in the First World War, is what makes this municipality known across Italy. Fogliano Redipuglia lies on the Isonzo plain where the first hills of the Karst begin, in the province of Gorizia, a short distance from Monfalcone and the coast.
It is a residential municipality, with detached houses, villas and small blocks, and some older buildings in the two villages that give it its name. For work and services people look to Monfalcone, Gorizia and Trieste, reached by car; being close to the area's main roads is convenient for daily commuters. In low areas towards watercourses, it is worth reading the flood maps the report checks for the address.
According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 2,979 residents in 2023, down 2.4% since 2011. The average age is 48.5, close to the provincial 48.0, with over-65s at 26.6% and foreign nationals at 5.8%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.151 g, high for that class: Friuli has a significant earthquake history, and the year a house was built is always worth asking. The land registry has a particular feature: the tavolare system of Austrian origin applies here, and ownership is checked in the Land Book (Libro fondiario); the parcel maps, however, are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) and the report uses them as usual.

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