Muzzana del Turgnano, lowland Friuli near the lagoon

Muzzana del Turgnano lies in the Bassa Friulana, the plain between Udine and the Marano lagoon, only a few metres above sea level. The land is flat and farmed, crossed by canals and ditches, with a few surviving lowland woods. The village is small and gathered around its centre, with detached houses and courtyards.

People buying here usually want space and country prices, and work in the local business areas or towards Udine, Latisana and the coast. Services in the village are basic, with no supermarket listed, and you need a car for almost everything. In the lowest areas, near watercourses, it is worth checking flood risk: the report does this on the official maps for the exact address.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,352 residents (2023), down 10.9% from 2,641 in 2011. The average age is 50.1 and over-65s make up 29.6%, more than in the province of Udine (27.8%). Foreign residents are 7.0%.

Friuli is an earthquake region, and the lowland south of the province is the least exposed part. Muzzana is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection scale, like 43 other municipalities, while most of the province is in zone 2 or 1. The expected ground acceleration is about 0.107 g. For a house from the 1960s or 1970s it is still worth asking how the structure was built and whether it has been strengthened.

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address.
