Moruzzo, in the glacial hills north-west of Udine

Moruzzo lies in the moraine hills of Friuli, north-west of Udine, a landscape of meadows, small woods and low rises left behind by the ancient Tagliamento glacier. The municipality is made up of several hamlets spread across the hilltops and the hollows between them, and the main village sits on higher ground, at around 260 metres.

It is a residential choice for people working in Udine: the city is a short drive away, and many families have come here for a detached house with a garden. There is no railway, so a car is needed for almost everything. Homes range from restored old stone farmhouses to houses built in recent decades; on sloping plots, drainage and retaining walls are worth a look.

Istat, the national statistics office, records 2,401 residents in 2023, broadly stable since 2011 (up 0.4%). The average age is 49.0, close to the provincial 48.5, and foreign residents make up 3.7%. Declared incomes are well above the provincial average.

Hilly Friuli is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.223 g. In this part of the region many houses were repaired or rebuilt after the 1976 earthquake. When buying, find out to what standards that work was done and whether any structural work has been carried out since.

The cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are available, and the report finds the land parcel from the address, along with distances to services measured from the house.

For anyone buying in Moruzzo, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
