Treiso, Barbaresco hills in the Langhe

Treiso is one of the municipalities in the Langhe where Barbaresco wine is made, in the hills near Alba, at about 400 metres. The landscape is one of ridges, vineyards, farmhouses and roads that follow the hills; Alba is close by and remains the reference point for work, schools and services.

For buyers, the wine setting shapes the market. Alongside residents' homes there are restored farmhouses, agriturismi (farm stays) and holiday homes. With a rural building, check carefully whether any conversions were authorised, what landscape restrictions apply and, if there is land, what it can be used for. This is climate zone E, with cold winters and fog in the valleys.

There were 758 residents in 2023, down 7.6% on 2011. The average age is 47.2, close to the 46.3 of the province of Cuneo, and over-65s make up 25.2%. Foreign residents account for 7.1%. Average declared income is above the provincial average. Overture Maps, an open map database, lists 9 restaurants, bars and similar venues in the village.

Seismic hazard is low: Treiso is in zone 4, like 106 of the 247 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.047 g. In brick and stone farmhouses, the state of the roof and damp in the walls matter most.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality: the report goes from the address to the land parcel. On hills with some steep gradients, landslide hazard is read from the official maps for the exact location of the house.

Overview

Treiso is a municipality in the province of Cuneo, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 758 residents, ranked 126 of 247 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Treiso is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 106 of 247 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.047 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
