San Pietro Mosezzo, countryside and hamlets on Novara's doorstep
San Pietro Mosezzo is a lowland municipality just west of Novara, made up of several hamlets spread among rice fields, farmland and farmsteads. The provincial capital is a few kilometres away and is where many residents work, study and shop; being so close to the city makes the municipality a choice for anyone wanting a house with a garden without moving far.
Homes are mostly small villas, semi-detached and detached houses built in recent decades, alongside old courtyard houses and farmsteads. For buyers it matters which hamlet the property is in, because distances to services and transport links vary. On an irrigated plain the report reads the official flood maps for the address and measures the distance to schools, pharmacies and shops from the exact spot. The climate zone is E, with cold, foggy winters.
According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, there were 1,984 residents at the end of 2023, down 0.6% on 2011, so stable. The average age is 46.3, close to the provincial 46.7, and 23.1% of residents are over 65, against 24.9% for the province. Foreign residents make up 7.7%. Declared incomes are slightly above the Novara average.
Earthquake risk is as low as it gets: all 87 municipalities in the province of Novara are in seismic zone 4, and the expected ground acceleration here is 0.037 g. In courtyard houses the costs to plan for are mainly roof, damp and services.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the address to the land parcel, with the local price band.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, San Pietro Mosezzo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 87 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.037 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
