Pratiglione, the first slopes of upper Canavese

Where the Canavese plain meets the first mountains, Pratiglione occupies a slope at around 600 metres, among woods and meadows. It is a small village in upper Canavese, within the Metropolitan City of Turin, above the towns of the plain where people go for work, schools and shopping.

People who choose Pratiglione are usually after a house with some land and an open view. Homes are mostly detached, some built of stone, and on the slope gardens are often terraced. Look at the retaining walls, rainwater drainage and the roof, and budget for heating: this is climate zone F.

In 2023 there were 459 residents, 16.2% fewer than in 2011. The average age of 50.0 is close to the 47.4 of the Turin area, over-65s make up 30.9% and foreign residents 12.0%. Declared incomes are slightly below the metropolitan area average.

For earthquakes, Pratiglione is in zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's national scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the metropolitan area, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.054 g. The hazard is low: in an older house, the condition of the roof and systems matters most.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. On a slope like this, landslide hazard should be read for the exact plot, on the official maps the report consults.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Pratiglione 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.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.054 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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