Premariacco, on the Natisone between Udine and Cividale

Premariacco lies on the eastern Friulian plain, just where the ground starts to rise towards the Colli Orientali hills. The river Natisone crosses the municipality on its way down from Cividale del Friuli, and the village sits between Cividale and Udine, the two towns people rely on every day for work, secondary schools and hospital care. Around it are fields, vineyards and small hamlets such as Orsaria and Ipplis; on the hills of Ipplis stands the Rocca Bernarda, surrounded by vines.

House hunters here will mostly find detached homes with gardens and old farmhouses built around a courtyard, often in need of work. Average declared incomes are just below those of the province of Udine. For a property close to the Natisone or to the irrigation channels on the plain, it is worth checking the official flood maps, which the report reads at the exact point of the address.

In 2023 there were 3,921 residents, down 6.4% from 4,187 in 2011. The average age of 48.2 is in line with the province (48.5), over-65s make up 26.4% against 27.8% for the province, and foreign residents 4.5%.

Friuli is earthquake country and the official classification reflects it. Premariacco is in seismic zone 2, along with 70 other municipalities in the province, while 19 municipalities further north, towards the mountains, are in zone 1. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.224 g. For a house built before the anti-seismic rules, ask what work has been done on the walls, floors and roof.

The cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are published, so the report can start from the address and find the plot of the building.
