San Vito al Tagliamento, towers and farmland in lower Friuli
Between Pordenone and the river Tagliamento, San Vito is the main town of the lower Pordenone plain. Its heart is a compact historic centre with the towers of the old town gates, the castle and the palazzi around the square. Beyond it lie residential districts and a large industrial area that also employs people from the surrounding villages.
Homes on the market are mostly detached houses with gardens, terraced villas and flats in low-rise blocks, while the outlying hamlets scattered through the farmland feel almost rural. The Tagliamento runs to the east and marks the boundary with the Udine area. On land close to the river the flood maps deserve a careful look, and the report does this for the address.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 15,215 residents in 2023, up 1.4% on 2011: a stable population. San Vito ranks 5 in its province by size, with an estimated average age of 46.2 against 46.6. Over-65s make up 24.3% and foreign residents 9.7%. Declared incomes are in line with the rest of the province.
Friuli knows earthquakes well: the 1976 quake struck mainly the area north of Udine, and the province of Pordenone still has 13 municipalities in seismic zone 1. San Vito is on the plain, in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.145 g. That is not negligible, so for houses built before the 1980s ask for the design documents and any structural checks.
Parts of Friuli still record property under the tavolare land-book system, but not here. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches the plot from the address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
