Remanzacco, across the Torre on the road to Cividale
Cross the Torre river heading east out of Udine and you are in Remanzacco. It is a village on the plain between Udine and Cividale del Friuli, with the eastern hills and the Julian Pre-Alps in the background, and farming hamlets such as Ziracco, Orzano and Cerneglons.
For anyone working in Udine it is a convenient choice: the city centre is about fifteen minutes by car, and the small Udine to Cividale railway crosses the municipality. The market is made up of detached and semi-detached houses and traditional Friulian farmhouses built round a courtyard, often with more land than you would find in town.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,013 residents in 2023, almost as many as in 2011 (down 0.9%). The village is younger than the province: average age is 46.6 against 48.5, and over-65s are 24.2% against 27.8%. Foreign nationals are 5.3%, and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Earthquakes are the most serious issue here. Remanzacco is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection Department classification, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.229 g, a high value: the Friulian foothills are among the most seismic areas in northern Italy, and 19 municipalities in the province of Udine are in zone 1. In stone houses, renovated or not, ask to see the plans for any structural work; for newer houses, the year of construction and the engineering calculations.
The Torre is a torrent with a wide gravel bed and sudden floods, and areas close to it should be checked against the flood maps, which the report does for each address. Cadastral maps are published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).
