Lesegno, between Mondovì and Ceva near the Tanaro

Between Ceva and Mondovì, in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, the river Tanaro flows close to Lesegno, a low-hill village at about 420 metres, with fields, woods and farmsteads scattered around the centre. Mondovì and Ceva are the towns for schools, hospital and work, and the Turin to Savona motorway runs through the area.

What stands out is who lives here: foreign residents make up 17.4%, and the average age of 45.0 is lower than 46.3 for the province, with over-65s at 23.9%. Households average 2.36 people. At the end of 2023 there were 844 residents, just 10 fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Homes are mostly detached houses, village houses and farmsteads scattered in the countryside. The climate is zone E, with cold winters. Near the Tanaro and its tributaries flood hazard should be checked for the address, as should landslide hazard on the slopes: the report reads both sets of official maps.

Earthquakes are not a big concern here. Lesegno is in seismic zone 4, the lowest, like 106 municipalities in the province of Cuneo, while the other 141 are in zone 3; expected ground acceleration is about 0.063 g. For a farmstead to renovate, the roof, floors, services and energy rating matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps: from the address, the report finds the land parcel and building.

Key points

  • Between Mondovì and Ceva, near the Tanaro.
  • Foreign residents at 17.4%, average age 45.0.
  • Population nearly stable: 10 fewer since 2011.

Overview

Lesegno is a municipality in the province of Cuneo, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 844 residents, ranked 120 of 247 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lesegno 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 0.063 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 1.2%. The estimated average age is 45 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 17.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Lesegno declared an average taxable income of 21,215 euros, below the provincial average (24,913 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Lesegno is in climate zone E, with 2,838 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 422 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 9.0% of the land in Lesegno, 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

Lesegno is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Lesegno, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Lesegno: 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 Lesegno 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 22 inhabited census areas in Lesegno. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 59 or more.
