Verolengo, on the Po between Chivasso and Vercelli

At the far eastern edge of the Turin metropolitan area, where the plain begins to fill with rice fields towards Vercelli, Verolengo stretches along the left bank of the Po. The main village is a lowland town with a compact centre around the church, and the municipality includes several hamlets, among them Borgo Revel, scattered among fields and farmsteads.

For services and work, the reference point is Chivasso, a few minutes away, with a station on the Turin to Milan line and a junction on the A4 motorway. Turin is close from there, which is why Verolengo attracts families looking for a detached house with a garden at lower prices than the Turin suburbs. The market is made up of courtyard houses, small detached homes and farmhouses to restore.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 4,830 residents in 2023, down 2.7% since 2011. The average age is 46.7, a little below the province, and foreign residents make up 6.7%. Declared incomes are below the metropolitan average.

The earthquake picture is reassuring. Verolengo is one of 41 municipalities in the province in seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection Department classification, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.040 g. In older courtyard houses the usual problems are damp, roofs and wiring or plumbing.

The real question is the Po. The river, joined by the Dora Baltea a little further downstream, has flooded the plain several times, and some hamlets lie close to the embankments. Before buying, check exactly where the house stands in relation to the river. The report does this with the official flood hazard maps and uses the Revenue Agency cadastre to find the plot.

Overview

Verolengo is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 4,830 residents, ranked 66 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Verolengo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Only 41 of 312 municipalities in the province are in zone 4.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.040 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.7%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Liveability area by area
