Quagliuzzo, in the Canavese west of Ivrea

Ivrea is the reference town for Quagliuzzo, a small municipality in the Canavese area of northern Piedmont, just west of the town among low hills, woods and fields at around three hundred metres. It is a place of scattered houses and small clusters rather than a compact village, with many homes built in recent decades alongside older ones. Turin can be reached by car too.

The population is holding steady. In 2023 Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 333 residents, slightly more than the 331 of 2011 (an increase of 0.6%). The estimated average age is 49.7, against 47.4 in the province of Turin, and 28.5% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 13.2%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

House hunters here find detached homes with gardens, semi-detached houses and a few village houses to renovate. Energy efficiency matters, because in climate zone E heating weighs on the bills, and so does the state of the wiring and plumbing in houses from the 1970s and 1980s. On gently sloping plots, check drainage and damp in partly underground floors.

Quagliuzzo is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, but the expected acceleration is low, about 0.046 g. For newer houses it is still worth knowing which building standards they were designed to.

Along the watercourses the report checks the official flood maps for the exact address, and finds the land parcel with the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Key points

  • Canavese, just west of Ivrea, among low hills and woods.
  • 333 residents in 2023, steady since 2011.

Overview

Quagliuzzo is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 333 residents, ranked 279 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Quagliuzzo 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 0.046 g, a low 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 50 years, higher than the province average (47). 29% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 13.2% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Quagliuzzo declared an average taxable income of 28,938 euros, above the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Quagliuzzo is in climate zone E, with 2,645 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 334 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 8.2% of the land in Quagliuzzo, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Quagliuzzo is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

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.
