San Michele Mondovì, hills and valley next to Mondovì

For anyone working in Mondovì, San Michele Mondovì is a convenient place to live: it lies east of the town, along the valley of the Corsaglia torrent, with its centre at about 440 metres and hills, meadows and woods around it. The lower part is flatter and more built up; the hillside hamlets are more scattered and quiet.

The population is more mixed than in many villages nearby. There are 1,855 residents in 2023, down 8.8% since 2011. The average age is 46.5, almost the same as 46.3 in the province, and over-65s are 28.4%. Foreign residents are 14.8%, above the average for the Cuneo area. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The market offers village houses, detached homes and hillside farmsteads, at prices lower than in Mondovì. The climate is zone E, with cold winters and fog in the valley. For an old house on the hill, check drainage, damp and winter access.

Earthquake risk is low: zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, with an expected acceleration of 0.069 g. In the province of Cuneo, 141 municipalities are in zone 3 and 106 in zone 4: here the lower class applies.

Along the Corsaglia and the streams coming down from the hills, the official flood maps should be read for the address, as should the landslide maps on the slopes. The report does this starting from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for San Michele Mondovì.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, San Michele Mondovì is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 106 of 247 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.
