Strevi, the Bormida valley and moscato near Acqui

Strevi is in the Alto Monferrato, in the province of Alessandria, in the Bormida valley a short distance from Acqui Terme. The village has a lower part along the road and the river and an upper part on the hill, surrounded by vineyards. The area is known for moscato and for the passito sweet wine that bears the village's name.

Acqui Terme is the reference for services, schools and hospital, a few minutes away. Homes range from brick and stone houses in the upper village to detached houses along the valley and farmhouses among the vines. For an isolated farmhouse, check access, water and drainage.

Foreign residents make up 17.4% of the population, a high share. In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 1,956 residents, down 4.1% from 2,039 in 2011. The average age is 47.2, below 48.9 for the province of Alessandria. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Strevi is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of 0.061 g, a low value. In older houses in the upper village, the practical advice concerns the roof, timber floors and damp walls.

In the lower part near the Bormida the report shows the official flood maps for the address, and on the hills the landslide maps. Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published and the report reaches the land parcel.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Strevi is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (127 of 187) are in the same zone.

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