Fubine Monferrato, hills and vineyards between Alessandria and Casale

Fubine Monferrato sits in the hills of the Basso Monferrato, between Alessandria and Casale Monferrato, in a landscape of vineyards, hazel groves and fields along the ridges. The village is built on a hill, with the old centre at the top and newer homes along the roads leading down.

It suits commuters to Alessandria and people looking for a house with land: brick farmhouses and country homes, often with a barn or outbuilding, next to small villas from recent decades. For rural buildings, check how they are registered at the land registry and the state of the roof, and budget for heating in a zone E climate with foggy winters. Declared incomes are above the average for the province of Alessandria.

There were 1,600 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 3.4% on 2011. The average age is 48.6 (48.9 in the province), foreign residents make up 9.7% and households average 2.07 people.

Earthquake risk is low: Fubine is in seismic zone 4, like 59 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.044 g. In older houses, upkeep, damp and the state of the services matter most.

On the Monferrato hills, clay soils can shift on slopes, so the report checks the gradient and the official landslide maps for each address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Fubine Monferrato 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 zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
