Tavagnasco, in the Dora Baltea valley towards Aosta

Heading up the Dora Baltea valley north of Ivrea, along the stretch that leads into the Aosta Valley, Tavagnasco occupies the valley floor and the lower mountain slopes at around 270 metres. The motorway to Aosta and the railway run along the valley floor, putting Ivrea and, further away, Turin within reach; above the village the slopes rise steeply, covered in woodland.

For buyers there is a clear difference between the houses down below, convenient and on flat ground, and those higher up, with better views and sun but steeper access. If you choose the valley floor, look at the official flood maps along the Dora and the side streams; if you choose the slopes, look at the landslide maps. The report checks both for the address.

Compared with the average for the Turin area, the village is a little younger. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 746 residents in 2023, down 8.2% on 2011; the average age is 46.5 against 47.4 across the metropolitan area, and over-65s make up 23.2% against 26.4%. Foreign residents account for 8.3%. Average declared income is below the metropolitan average.

Tavagnasco is in seismic zone 3, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the metropolitan area of Turin, with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.046 g. In stone houses, the roof, damp and floors matter most. This is climate zone E.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality and the report links each address to its land parcel.
