Pinzano al Tagliamento, hills above the river narrows
Pinzano al Tagliamento lies in the hills on the right bank of the Tagliamento, at the point where the river leaves the mountains and spreads out towards the plain. The Pinzano bridge spans these narrows and links the village to the Udine side. The municipality is a set of hamlets scattered among hills, meadows and woods; Spilimbergo is the nearest town for services and schools, and Pordenone is the main reference for work.
For a buyer, earthquakes are what matters most. The area was hit in 1976 and many houses were rebuilt or repaired in the years that followed: the construction date, the reconstruction file and any later work are the first documents to ask for. Pinzano is in seismic zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.247 g; in the province of Pordenone 13 municipalities are in zone 1, 27 in zone 2 and 10 in zone 3.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,519 residents in 2023, down 3.1% since 2011, a modest fall. The village is older than the province: an average age of 49.1 against 46.6, and over-65s at 31.4% against 25.1%. Foreign residents account for 10.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Between hills and river, the hazard changes from one address to the next: slopes on one side, the riverbed and low ground on the other. The report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the exact spot.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report reaches the land parcel from the address.
