Magliano Alpi, the plain around Mondovì

Despite its name, the main village of Magliano Alpi lies on the plain north of Mondovì, at around four hundred metres, with the Ligurian and Maritime Alps on the horizon. Around the village are fields, livestock farms and farmsteads, plus several scattered hamlets. Mondovì is the place for schools, hospital care and shops, Cuneo and the plain towards Fossano are within driving distance, and the Turin to Savona motorway runs through the area.

There were 2,161 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 3.1% on 2011. The average age is 45.7, slightly below 46.3 for the province of Cuneo, and 24.5% are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 8.1%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

For buyers, the type of house is what matters: detached and newer homes in the main village and larger hamlets, farmsteads and rural houses in the countryside, roomy but often needing work. The climate is that of the Piedmont plain, zone E, with cold winters and fog, so insulation and heating weigh on running costs. Overture Maps data show 2 schools and 1 pharmacy.

Magliano Alpi is in seismic zone 3, like 141 of the 247 municipalities in the province of Cuneo, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.069 g. With a farmhouse, ask about the state of the roof and walls. The report starts from the address, checks flood hazard near watercourses and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency cadastral maps.
