Sesto al Reghena, an abbey among the springs of western Friuli
The centre of Sesto al Reghena grew up around the Benedictine abbey of Santa Maria in Sylvis, one of the most important medieval complexes in Friuli, and takes its name from the Reghena, a spring-fed stream that runs through it. This is the low plain of the province of Pordenone, close to the border with the Veneto region and a few minutes from Portogruaro, which for many residents is the nearest town for the railway station, secondary schools and shops.
The land is flat, around ten metres above sea level, with the main village, a few farming hamlets and houses scattered among fields and rows of trees. Most buyers are after a detached house with a garden or land, at prices below those of the bigger towns. Pordenone is about half an hour's drive. Climate zone E brings cold, damp winters with frequent fog, and declared incomes are just below the provincial average.
The population is stable: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,311 residents in 2023 against 6,319 in 2011, only 8 fewer. It is a little younger than the province, with over-65s at 23.5% against 25.1%, and households average 2.35 people. Foreign residents make up 6.2%.
Earthquake hazard in the province of Pordenone rises towards the mountains: 13 municipalities are in zone 1 and 27 in zone 2. Sesto al Reghena is in the calmer part, in zone 3 with only 10 municipalities, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.127 g. In a restored farmhouse it is still worth asking whether the walls and floors have been strengthened.
Where groundwater lies close to the surface, as in this belt of natural springs, look carefully at rising damp and cellars; near watercourses, flood hazard is checked by the report for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.
