Moransengo-Tonengo, Monferrato hills on the Turin border

Moransengo-Tonengo is a recently created municipality, formed by merging Moransengo and Tonengo, two neighbouring villages in the Monferrato hills in the far north of the province of Asti, towards the border with the province of Turin. The landscape is ridges, woods, meadows and vineyards, with small scattered settlements and roads that climb and dip. For work and services people look to Chivasso, Turin or Asti.

The market offers village houses, farmsteads and country houses with land, often chosen as a first or second home by people who want the countryside within an hour of the city. Before buying, check the access road, water, internet connection and the state of the roof. In climate zone E winters are cold, and heating a large farmhouse can be expensive.

In 2023 there were 399 residents, just 10 fewer than in 2011. The population is elderly: an estimated average age of 54.2 against 47.9 for the province, and over-65s at 34.8% against 27.3%. Foreign residents account for 7.0%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is very low: the municipality is in zone 4 of the national classification kept by the Civil Protection Department, like 113 of the 117 municipalities in the Asti province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.040 g. On the Monferrato hills the ground matters more: clay slopes can move, and for each plot the report reads the official maps.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and from the address the report finds the land parcel. With a farmstead, this helps establish which land and buildings are included.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Moransengo-Tonengo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (113 of 117) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 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.
