Vigone, farmsteads and open country on the Pinerolo plain

On the plain south-east of Pinerolo, Vigone still lives largely off farming: maize fields, meadows, farmsteads and cattle farms cover most of the municipality. Turin lies to the north-east, within driving distance, while Pinerolo is the nearest reference for the hospital, secondary schools and public offices. The town has a compact centre and many scattered houses in the outlying rural hamlets (borgate).

Buyers in Vigone are often looking for space: detached houses, farmhouses with a courtyard and outbuildings, homes with gardens. Farmhouses to restore are cheap to buy but need major work on roofs, floors and systems, and sometimes on access too. Overture Maps, an open map of places, records 5 supermarkets and 4 healthcare sites; the report measures the distance from the address to schools, pharmacies and shops, which matters a lot for an isolated hamlet.

In 2023 there were 5,010 residents, down 4.0% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 47.4, against 47.4 in the metropolitan city of Turin, and 26.6% of residents are over 65. Foreign nationals make up 6.4% and households have 2.22 members on average. Average declared incomes are below the metropolitan average.

Vigone is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the metropolitan city, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.102 g. Old farmhouses built of brick and river stones are the buildings where you should check most carefully how walls and floors are tied together; for newer homes, insulation and heating count, with cold, foggy winters (climate zone E).

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here and the report traces the address back to the land parcel. On a plain crossed by streams and irrigation channels, known locally as bealere, flood hazard varies from one hamlet to the next and is checked for the address.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Vigone is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.102 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 6.7% of the land in Vigone, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Vigone is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Vigone, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Vigone: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Vigone are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 85 inhabited census areas in Vigone. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 78 or more.
