Magliano Alfieri, the Alfieri castle between Roero and the Tanaro

Magliano Alfieri sits on the edge of the Roero hills, where they drop down to the Tanaro plain, west of Alba. The village has two parts: the old centre on the hill, dominated by the Alfieri castle, which houses a museum of decorated plaster ceilings, and the newer hamlet of Sant'Antonio below, along the valley road. Around them are vineyards, hazelnut groves and orchards.

The municipality is growing: 2,153 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 6.3% on 2011. The average age is 44.2, below 46.3 for the province of Cuneo, and 21.5% are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 8.5%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

For buyers, hill and plain are very different. Up top there are old houses, farmsteads and some views over the Langhe, with sloping roads; down below are newer detached houses and small blocks, handy for anyone working in Alba or for local firms. Overture Maps data show 2 schools, 1 pharmacy and 14 bars and restaurants. The climate is that of the Piedmont hills, zone E.

Magliano Alfieri is in seismic zone 4, like 106 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.045 g. Location matters more than earthquakes: flood hazard on the plain near the Tanaro, slope stability on the sandy Roero hills. The report checks both for the address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Magliano Alfieri 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 0.045 g, a low 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.
