Pozzuolo del Friuli, farmland and hamlets south of Udine
Fields of maize and soya, the odd surviving row of mulberry trees, villages with houses lined up along the road and courtyards closed off by a gate: the landscape of Pozzuolo del Friuli is typical of the Friulian plain. The municipality lies just south of Udine, at around 70 metres, and is made up of the main village and several hamlets spread across the countryside.
Being so close to Udine shapes the market. Next to old rural houses, many of them renovated, there are recent developments of detached and semi-detached homes chosen by families who work in the city and want more space. The hamlets do not all have the same services, so before choosing it is worth checking how far the school, pharmacy and shops are from the address, which the report measures house by house.
The population is almost static: 6,864 residents in 2023, just 0.2% fewer than in 2011. In one of Italy's oldest provinces, Pozzuolo is slightly younger, with 26.3% of people over 65 against 27.8% for the province. Foreign residents make up 8.9%, and average incomes are in line with the province.
Anyone buying in Friuli knows earthquakes must be taken seriously. In the province of Udine, 19 municipalities are in seismic zone 1 and 71 in zone 2 of the national scale; Pozzuolo, on the plain, is in zone 3, but the expected ground acceleration of about 0.173 g is not negligible. After the 1976 earthquake many houses in the region were rebuilt or strengthened, so for an older building find out whether and how it was upgraded.
Some municipalities in Friuli-Venezia Giulia use the Austrian-style land register, but Pozzuolo uses the ordinary cadastre, and the Revenue Agency's maps let the report trace each address back to its land parcel.
