Peveragno, below the Bisalta south-east of Cuneo

The Bisalta, the twin-peaked mountain you can pick out from anywhere on the Cuneo plain, rises right behind Peveragno. The village sits just under six hundred metres, where the plain ends and the mountains begin, about fifteen kilometres south-east of Cuneo.

The municipality is large and varies a lot from one end to the other. There is the centre, with its old streets and houses built against the hillside; there are the lower hamlets facing the plain; and there are the upland settlements on the slopes, with houses scattered among meadows and chestnut woods. The drive to Cuneo is short from the centre, but longer from the higher hamlets, especially in winter. The climate zone is F, the one with the longest winters, so in an isolated house the heating bill should be part of your sums from day one.

The population has stood still: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,498 residents in 2023 against 5,481 at the 2011 census. It is slightly younger than the province, with an average age of 45.6 against 46.3 and over-65s at 23.8% against 25.1%. Foreign residents make up 6.9%, and average declared incomes are just below the Cuneo average. The data show 5 school sites, 5 sports facilities and 4 supermarkets.

The province of Cuneo is split between two seismic zones on the Civil Protection Department's scale: 141 municipalities are in zone 3 and 106 in zone 4. Peveragno is in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.118 g. In the stone houses of the hamlets, the roof, the ties between walls and floors, and damp are what count; for a newer building, ask for the structural design and the final inspection certificate.

Steep streams come down from the Bisalta and the slopes can slip, while lower down the land near watercourses needs checking for flooding. The report looks at both for the exact address and traces the plot on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

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

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 98 inhabited census areas in Peveragno. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 68 or more.
