Loranzè, a Canavese village near Ivrea

Loranzè, in the Canavese area north of Turin, has been gaining residents: in 2023 Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,141, up 1.3% on 2011. The average age is 46.3, slightly below the 47.4 of the province of Turin, foreign residents make up 4.0% and households have 2.25 members on average.

The village lies south-west of Ivrea, between low hills and the Canavese plain. Ivrea is the town for work, secondary schools and the hospital, and the Turin to Aosta motorway passes a few kilometres away, handy for anyone working in Turin. The municipality mixes a small historic centre, residential streets of houses and villas, and fields and woods.

Buyers here are usually after a detached house or a villa with a garden, often built at some point between the 1970s and today. For these homes look at the energy rating, the heating system and the roof: this is climate zone E, with cold, foggy winters. The old houses in the centre need checking for damp and the state of the floors.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.045 g, a low value.

Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps and the report traces the land parcel from the address; areas near streams are checked on the official flood maps.

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