Magnano in Riviera, glacial hills north of Udine
North of Udine the Friulian plain runs into the first hills, and Magnano in Riviera lies in this band, between the moraine hills left by ancient glaciers and the mountains that mark the start of the Pre-Alps, at around two hundred metres. The territory is split into several hamlets, with meadows, woods and fields between them, and the road to Gemona and the Tarvisio area passes close by.
Buyers here often want a house with land within half an hour of Udine. On offer are detached houses, small villas and traditional Friulian houses with a courtyard, many rebuilt or renovated in recent decades. Most jobs are in Udine and the towns of the hill area, and people drive.
According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,245 residents in 2023, down 5.1% since 2011. The average age of 48.3 is close to the 48.5 of the province, over-65s are 28.1% and foreign residents 3.2%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average. Winters are cold (climate zone E).
The seismic figure is the most important. Magnano is in seismic zone 1, the highest on the national scale kept by the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department), like 18 other municipalities in the province of Udine, with an expected acceleration of 0.256 g. This part of Friuli has a long history of strong earthquakes. For any house, find out the year it was built or rebuilt, the standards it was designed to and any later work, and have an engineer look at the structure.
