Mirabello Monferrato, where the Casale plain rises to the hills

Mirabello Monferrato lies in the strip where the plain south of Casale begins to rise towards the Monferrato hills. The land is fields, vineyards on the first slopes and farmsteads; for work, secondary schools and the hospital people look to Casale Monferrato, while Alessandria and Valenza are a short drive away.

The population is elderly. In 2023 there were 1,213 residents, 13.4% fewer than the 1,401 of 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 51.1 against 48.9 in the province of Alessandria, and over-65s are 32.6% (28.6% in the province). Foreign residents make up 6.3%, and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

The market offers two-storey village houses with courtyards, farmhouses with outbuildings and a few modern detached homes. Many were built with brick walls and timber floors and need work on the roof, systems and insulation. The climate zone is E, with cold, foggy winters, and a poorly insulated house is expensive to heat, so ask for the energy rating and have a surveyor look at the roof before making an offer.

Earthquakes matter little here. Mirabello is in seismic zone 4 of the national classification, like 60 of the 187 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration is 0.045 g.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, so the report gets from the address to the land parcel. On the plain, flood hazard depends on nearby channels and streams and is checked on the official maps for each house.

Overview

Mirabello Monferrato is a municipality in the province of Alessandria, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,213 residents, ranked 59 of 187 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mirabello Monferrato is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 60 of 187 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.
