Oglianico, Canavese farmland near Rivarolo

Oglianico is a lowland village in the upper Canavese, in the province of Turin, a short distance from Rivarolo Canavese. The land is flat, with fields, farmhouses and a historic centre of medieval origin, and the mountains of the Canavese valleys in the background. Turin is under an hour away by car; Ivrea and Rivarolo provide services and schools.

The population has held up in recent years: Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,445 residents in 2023, up 1.3% since 2011. The average age of 45.4 is lower than the province's (47.4), and over-65s make up 22.5% against 26.4% provincially. Foreign residents account for 4.6%. Declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

Buyers can choose from houses in the centre, detached homes built around the village and renovated farmhouses. In climate zone E, insulation and the heating system have a real effect on yearly costs, so with an older house it is worth asking to see the bills. With farmhouses, also check drainage, wells and road access.

Oglianico is in seismic zone 3, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration is low at 0.049 g. Maintenance and services matter more than structure.

On the plain, among irrigation channels and streams, the report checks the official flood maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report reaches the land parcel.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Oglianico is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

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