The well-being figures below are for the province, not the town. The rest of this page is comune-level.

Nationality

Vernante, in the province of Cuneo, is home to 5 French nationals: 0.46% of its 1,084 residents.

That is the 42nd-highest concentration of French nationals among the 5,872 Italian comuni with at least 1,000 residents.

Within Piemonte it ranks 9th.

ISTAT counts 55 residents with a foreign citizenship in Vernante, 5.07% of the population. Among the nationalities we follow most closely, the only group is French nationals (5).

On ISTAT's well-being measures, the province of Cuneo scores in the top quarter of Italian provinces for average disposable income per capita and employment rate (20-64 years old).

It scores in the bottom quarter for overall Fixed Very High Capacity Network (VHCN) coverage and medical specialists.

These figures describe the province, not the town. A comune can sit some way from its province's average.

Summers average a high of 21.1°C (70°F) and winters a low of -5.1°C (23°F), measured over 2015 to 2024.

Vernante sees about 0 days a year above 30°C (86°F).

It gets about 1,186mm of rain a year, spread across roughly 149 days.

These come from ERA5-Land reanalysis at the comune itself, not from the nearest weather station.

OMI puts residential purchase prices in Vernante at about €1,220 per square meter in the second half of 2025.

At those figures, buying costs about 27.5 years of renting the same property.

Property prices

To buy

€1,220 /m²

To rent

€3.70 /m²/month

Buying in Vernante is above the Cuneo average of €1,073/m². Averaged across 3 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

27.5 years of rent here equal the purchase price — above the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages €1,425/m², against €1,220 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighborhood — the two cost about the same per square meter — the opposite of what the two averages above suggest, because OMI prices houses and flats in different parts of town.

OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square meter, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.

Agenzia delle Entrate — Osservatorio del Mercato Immobiliare (OMI), semester 2025 H2. Figures are midpoints of OMI’s surveyed ranges for “Abitazioni civili” in normal condition — a guide to the market, not a valuation of any particular property. OMI is Agenzia delle Entrate’s official range of market values per m², built from recorded sales and appraisals. Asking prices on listing sites are what sellers hope for, and usually run higher.

Seismic zone

Vernante is in seismic zone 3 (the Region labels it 3S). Of the four zones, zone 1 is the highest hazard and zone 4 the lowest. The Department of Civil Protection describes zone 3 as a zone where strong earthquakes are less likely than in zones 1 and 2.

This is the legal classification the Region gave the comune, used for planning and for control of building works. It is not a forecast, and it says nothing about the building you are looking at: since the 2018 building code the design load of a new building comes from site-specific hazard, not from the zone. Have any specific property checked by a qualified engineer.

Not to be confused with the “seismic” routes of the 7% pensioner regime. Those turn on whether the comune was in the 2009 L’Aquila or 2016–17 central-Italy earthquake areas, not on its zone, and being in zone 1 does not make anyone eligible for that regime, or for any tax treatment.

Hospital, airport and daily-needs distance

Nearest hospital: Istituto Climatico di Robilante S.R.L., about 6.7 km / 7 minutes by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest hospital with inpatient beds in the Ministero della Salute's 2023 list. A hospital with beds is not necessarily one with an emergency department. Ministero della Salute (2023); positions and roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest emergency department: Az. Ospedal. S. Croce e Carle, Cuneo (DEA level II), about 22.4 km / 21 minutes by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest hospital the Ministero della Salute lists in its emergency network (31 December 2025) as DEA level I or II or Pronto Soccorso. A Pronto Soccorso is not the same as a DEA: a DEA is a larger emergency department with more specialties on site. It is not a service guarantee; confirm with the local health authority.

That hospital is a DEA level II, so it is also the nearest DEA (level I or II). See the nearest DEA for every comune

Nearest airport: Cuneo International Airport (CUF), about 41.7 km / 37 minutes by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest of the airports where ENAC recorded at least 4,000 passengers in 2025; this leaves out two airports that carried almost none (Taranto-Grottaglie, Brescia-Montichiari). It says nothing about flights or routes. ENAC (2025); OurAirports; roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest supermarket (OpenStreetMap): Ok Market, about 6.5 km / 7 minutes by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest supermarket as OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped it. There is no official national list, so a store missing from the map is missing here. Small grocers and corner shops are not counted, so a village with a local alimentari but no supermarket shows a longer time than its real food shopping. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).

Nearest pharmacy: Farmacia Roggia, about 3.9 km / 6 minutes by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest pharmacy in the Ministero della Salute's open register (ordinary and branch pharmacies; dispensari with limited hours are left out). It says nothing about opening hours or night and Sunday duty. Ministero della Salute (open register of pharmacies, IODL 2.0); roads © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). See every comune on the map

Nearest railway station (OpenStreetMap): Vernante, about 0.2 km / 1 minute by road from Vernante (the main town).

The nearest railway station with passenger service as OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped it (metro, tram, funicular and heritage lines are left out). RFI publishes no national open list.

Measured by road from the main town of the comune (its OpenStreetMap place point; the geographic center for the few comuni with none), at free-flow speeds with no traffic. It is approximate. For Vernante, a trip from your own address can take longer or shorter. Drive the route before you rely on it, and ask the local health authority which hospital serves the town. Shops, pharmacies and stations are the nearest to the main town, not to your address.
