Passerano Marmorito, two villages in the hills of northern Asti

The double name tells you how the municipality is laid out: two settlements, Passerano and Marmorito, on the hills of the northern Asti area, in the strip that faces towards Turin. The landscape is farmed ridges and woodland, with the main village at around 320 metres. Asti and Turin are the reference cities, both reached by car.

On the market you find brick village houses, farmhouses with land and the odd villa in the hills, suited to anyone after space and quiet. Before signing, check the slope of the plot and the landslide hazard on the official maps, which the report reads for the address, then look at roofs, cracks and insulation: this is climate zone E.

The population is holding up: 447 residents in 2023, up 0.9% on 2011. The estimated average age is 49.8, compared with 47.9 provincially, and the share of over-65s (27.7%) is close to the provincial one (27.3%). Foreign residents make up 13.4%, and households average 1.99 people. Declared incomes are in line with the average for the province of Asti.

Earthquake hazard is low. The municipality is in seismic zone 4 on the national scale, like 112 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.041 g. With an old farmhouse, checks on walls and roof matter more than earthquake risk.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel, which helps when a farmhouse comes with several buildings and plots.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Passerano Marmorito is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (113 of 117) are in the same zone.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
