Lagnasco, orchards and castles on the Saluzzo plain

Orchards stretch as far as the eye can see around Lagnasco, on the plain near Saluzzo at the foot of the Alps. Apples, peaches, kiwi fruit and plums drive the local economy, and the centre keeps the Tapparelli castles complex.

For buyers, Lagnasco offers village houses, detached homes and farmhouses out in the countryside, with Saluzzo as the reference for secondary schools, hospital care and shopping and Cuneo further away. No public transport lines are recorded in the village. Anyone choosing a farmhouse among the orchards should expect seasonal spraying and farm work close to home. The report measures the distance from the exact address to schools, pharmacies and shops.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,406 residents in 2023, almost the same as in 2011 (1,405). The average age is 45.6, slightly below the provincial 46.3, and over-65s make up 23.0%. Foreign residents account for 15.6%, and the average household has 2.39 members. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Lagnasco is in seismic zone 3, like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province of Cuneo, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.104 g. In farmhouses and village houses built before modern standards, check the load-bearing walls and the roof.

The plain is crossed by irrigation channels and streams coming down from the Alps, so the report compares the address with the official flood maps. Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality.

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