Morozzo, between Cuneo and Mondovì, home of the capon

In Piedmont, Morozzo is known for its capon, raised on local farms and celebrated at a well-attended winter fair. The village lies on the plain at the foot of the Maritime Alps, between Cuneo and Mondovì, and along the Pesio stream is the Crava Morozzo nature reserve, whose small lakes attract migrating birds.

For buyers it is a practical base for anyone working in Cuneo or Mondovì, with detached houses, small villas and farmhouses scattered across the countryside. Restored farmhouses give you space, but look carefully at roofs, wiring and plumbing, and heating costs: the climate zone is E, so winters are cold. If you are looking near the Pesio or the irrigation channels, the report shows the official flood maps for that spot.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 2,008 residents at the end of 2023, down 5.1% on 2011. The average age is 44.8, younger than the provincial 46.3, and 24.1% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 8.9%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Morozzo is in seismic zone 3, like 140 of the 247 municipalities in the province of Cuneo, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.088 g. With a masonry farmhouse, ask whether the roof and floors have been worked on and how any extensions were built.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the building's land parcel.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
