Spilimbergo, the mosaic town on the Tagliamento

Mention Spilimbergo to most Italians and they think of mosaic. The town is home to the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli, a mosaic school that trains craftspeople from many countries, and its work turns up in the streets of the centre. Spilimbergo stands on the right bank of the Tagliamento, where the river spreads out across a wide gravel bed, and serves as the local centre for the farming villages between Pordenone and Udine. The old town keeps its castle, its cathedral and several painted façades.

The market is that of a small lowland town. The centre has terraced houses and old town houses, often around inner courtyards; around it, districts of detached and semi-detached houses have grown up, and further out lie the hamlets among the fields and the magredi, the dry grasslands typical of this part of Friuli. Most people drive to work in Pordenone, Maniago or the Udine area.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 11,778 residents in 2023, down 1.0% on 2011, so the population has barely moved. The estimated average age is 47.2, above the provincial 46.6, and over-65s make up 26.6%. Foreign residents account for 13.4%, a high share for a town of this size. Shops and sport are well covered, with 1.02 supermarkets and 1.44 sports facilities per 1,000 residents, above the provincial average.

Friuli knows earthquakes well, and after the 1976 quake many houses across the region were rebuilt or strengthened. Spilimbergo is in seismic zone 2, as classified by the Civil Protection Department, like 26 other municipalities in the province, while 13 further north are in zone 1. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.228 g, a medium-high value. For a house in the centre, ask when it was built or rebuilt and what structural work has been done.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. Close to the Tagliamento riverbed and the irrigation canals that cross the countryside, flood hazard varies a great deal and is read for the individual address.
