San Giorgio della Richinvelda, vines and nurseries by the Tagliamento
Outside Friuli the name of the municipality means little, but its village of Rauscedo is known far and wide: this is where grafted vine cuttings are grown and then shipped to vineyards around the world. San Giorgio della Richinvelda lies on the plain of the Pordenone province, on the right bank of the Tagliamento river, between Spilimbergo and Casarsa della Delizia, on gravelly land where vineyards, nurseries and small villages alternate.
It is a cluster of hamlets rather than a single town, and that matters when you look for a home: shops, schools and surgeries should be measured from the exact address. The data lists 20 services across the whole area. Most houses are detached, often with a yard or a strip of land. If you are buying towards the Tagliamento or along the irrigation channels, check the official flood maps in the report.
There are 4,538 residents, practically the same as in 2011 (8 more). What stands out is the share of foreign residents, 19.3%, high for a place this size, in an area where farms and nurseries need a lot of labour. The average age is 47.1, close to the provincial figure of 46.6, while declared incomes stay below the provincial average.
Western Friuli has to be taken seriously for earthquakes too. San Giorgio is in seismic zone 2 in the national classification by the Civil Protection department, like 26 other municipalities in the province of Pordenone, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.203 g. For a house built before modern seismic rules, ask what work has been done on walls, floors and roof, and whether there are building permits on file to prove it.
