Neviano degli Arduini, a Parma Apennine of hamlets

Neviano degli Arduini is a municipality in the Apennines south of Parma, covering hills and low mountains divided into many hamlets. The main village is at around 500 metres, but the hamlets rise and fall along ridges and valleys among woods, hay meadows and dairies: this is one of the areas producing mountain Parmigiano Reggiano. Climate zone F means long, cold winters.

Anyone considering a purchase has to think hamlet by hamlet. Some are close to the main roads and the services of the main village, others are isolated and reached by narrow, climbing roads. Many houses are old stone homes, sometimes used as holiday homes, and heating and insulation costs should be factored in. Parma is reached by car for work and services.

In 2023 there were 3,455 residents, down 6.4% since 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is older than in the province: an average age of 49.5 against 45.8, with over-65s at 30.3% against 23.4%. Foreign residents are 10.1%. Average incomes are below the provincial average.

Neviano is in seismic zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.158 g, not a low value. For a stone house, check how walls and floors are tied together, the state of the roof and any work already done.

The Emilian Apennines are among the Italian areas with the most landslides, often slow but extensive, so the report checks the official hazard maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps.
