San Vito di Fagagna, moraine hills west of Udine
San Vito di Fagagna sits on the moraine hills of central Friuli, the gentle rises left by the ancient Tagliamento glacier, west of Udine. It is a landscape of meadows, fields, copses and small villages, with Udine a short drive away: for many it is a place to live while working in the city or in the industrial areas on the plain.
House hunters mostly find detached homes with gardens and old Friulian farmhouses, sometimes with a courtyard and farm outbuildings. Rural houses need a close look at roofs, walls and the permitted use of the outbuildings; those built in the 1980s and 1990s should be checked above all for insulation and systems, as winters here are cold (climate zone E).
There are 1,664 residents (2023), almost unchanged since 2011, with a fall of 1.1% according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is a little younger than the provincial average: an average age of 46.7 against 48.5, over-65s at 25.8% against 27.8%. Foreign residents are 6.1%.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 71 of the 134 municipalities in the province of Udine, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.206 g. Friuli was struck by the major 1976 earthquake, and many houses in the area were repaired or rebuilt afterwards: ask for the paperwork for that work and the year of construction.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps. The report finds the land parcel and checks the official landslide and flood maps for that address, worth looking at in the low ground between the hills.
