Igliano, a hill village in the province of Cuneo

Igliano has one figure that sets it apart from the other small villages in the hills around Cuneo: foreign residents make up 19.7% of the population. The village lies in the Langhe hills, with its town hall above five hundred metres, among woods, meadows and fields.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 66 residents in 2023, down 21.4% since 2011. The estimated average age is 55.2, against 46.3 in the province of Cuneo, and over-65s make up 42.4%. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average.

House hunters will mostly find farmhouses and village houses in stone and brick, often with land. In a municipality this small, services are in the neighbouring towns and you need a car for everything from shopping to school runs. Climate zone E means cold winters, though milder than in the Alpine valleys. Before buying, have the roof, damp and services checked, and find out what it would cost to bring the house up to a good energy rating.

Earthquake hazard is low. Igliano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the scale, along with 105 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.058 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the address back to its land parcel. In the hills, landslides and water run-off depend on the individual slope, and the report checks them on the official maps for the house in question.

Key points

  • Hill village in the Langhe, above 500 metres.
  • Foreign residents at 19.7% of the population.
  • 66 residents in 2023, down 21.4% since 2011.

Overview

Igliano is a municipality in the province of Cuneo, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 66 residents, among the smallest in the province (241 of 247).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Igliano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 106 of 247 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.058 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 21.4%. The estimated average age is 55 years, higher than the province average (46). 42% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 19.7% of the population. On average, a household has 1.8 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Igliano declared an average taxable income of 14,993 euros, below the provincial average (24,913 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Igliano is in climate zone E, with 2,975 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 532 metres above sea level.

Services

The data shows no schools within the municipality, against a provincial average of 1.1 per 1,000 residents.

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 4.3% of the land in Igliano, compared with 5.3% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Igliano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is low. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Igliano.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Igliano: 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 Igliano 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 7 inhabited census areas in Igliano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 53 or more.
