Mango, in the Moscato Langhe between Alba and the Belbo valley

The hills of Mango are covered in Moscato vineyards, the grape behind Moscato d'Asti, and the village sits on top of one of the Langhe ridges, between Alba and the Belbo valley. The village castle houses the regional wine centre (enoteca regionale) devoted to Moscato. Alba, with the hospital, secondary schools and jobs, is a little over half an hour by car.

The local economy revolves around vineyards and wineries. In 2023 there were 1,256 residents, down 5.8% on the 1,334 of 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.8, against 46.3 in the province of Cuneo, and over-65s are 27.6%. Foreign residents make up 17.2%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers will find stone and brick village houses, isolated farmhouses on the ridges and rural buildings among the vines. Before falling for the view, check the access road, the water supply and drainage for scattered houses, as well as the landscape protection rules that are common in these hills.

Earthquakes carry little weight: Mango is in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, like 105 other municipalities in the province, while 141 are in zone 3. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.046 g.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality. The report finds the plot from the address and checks the official landslide maps, which on the Langhe hills need reading house by house.

Overview

Mango is a municipality in the province of Cuneo, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,256 residents, ranked 100 of 247 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mango 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 0.046 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.

The estimated average age is 49 years, higher than the province average (46). 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 17.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.
