San Giorgio di Nogaro, Porto Nogaro and the lowlands by the lagoon
In the Friulian lowlands, a few kilometres from the Marano lagoon, San Giorgio di Nogaro has two sides: the farming town with its square and, on the river Corno, Porto Nogaro with the large Aussa-Corno industrial zone. The land is flat, almost at sea level, and cut by irrigation channels and canals.
The station on the Venice to Trieste railway is a real advantage: Udine, Trieste and Venice are all reachable by train, and the A4 motorway runs just to the north. Many residents work in the industrial area or in local services. Homes range from terraced houses in the centre to detached houses in districts built from the 1960s onwards. For a quiet setting, look away from the roads that carry lorries to the port.
At the end of 2023 there were 7,280 residents, 5.2% fewer than in 2011, a loss of 401, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 48.8, close to the province of Udine, and over-65s make up 28.7%. Foreign residents account for 8.4%, and declared incomes match the provincial average.
Friuli has a long history of earthquakes, though concentrated further north in the hills and mountains: in the province 19 municipalities are in zone 1 and 71 in zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale. San Giorgio lies on the low plain, in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.110 g in the built-up area. It is still worth asking when the house was built and whether any structural work has been done.
In land this low and close to the lagoon, water is the main issue. The report checks the flood hazard maps at the exact address and links the house to its parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, San Giorgio di Nogaro is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 44 of 134 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.110 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.
