Livorno Ferraris, birthplace of Galileo Ferraris among the rice fields
The second part of the name honours Galileo Ferraris, the electrical engineer born here in the 19th century, whose work on the rotating magnetic field underpins alternating-current electric motors. Livorno Ferraris lies on the western Vercelli plain, among rice paddies and canals, along the Turin to Milan railway.
House hunters will find a lowland town with a historic centre and a ring of newer homes, surrounded by farmsteads. Turin and Vercelli can be reached by car or train; the report shows the distance from the address to the station, schools, pharmacies and shops. Average declared incomes are just below the provincial average.
In 2023 there were 4,215 residents, down 5.3% on the 4,450 of 2011. Livorno Ferraris is number 10 by population among the 82 municipalities in the province. The average age is 47.2, a little below the provincial 48.4, over-65s make up 25.9% and foreign residents 13.2%.
Seismic risk is very low: the municipality is in zone 4, like 80 other municipalities in the province, under the classification by Italy's Civil Protection Department, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.038 g. Fog and cold in climate zone E weigh more than earthquakes, so check insulation, windows and the boiler in an older house.
In the irrigated countryside, flood hazard needs reading address by address near channels and canals. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report traces the plot.

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