Agna, the canals and fields of the low Padua plain

Agna is a municipality in the Bassa Padovana, the low plain south of Padua, on reclaimed land almost at sea level, crossed by canals and drainage ditches that manage the water of the fields. The area is agricultural, with the main village and a few hamlets strung along the provincial roads and houses scattered among the fields.

Buyers here usually find detached houses and homes with gardens at lower prices than in the Padua commuter belt, as well as old rural houses to restore. The downside is distance: Padua is reached by car and for many services people go to the larger towns in the area. On a plain this low and full of canals, checking the official flood maps is the first thing to do, and the report does it for the exact address.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 3,138 residents in 2023, down 7.7% since 2011. The average age is 47.4, slightly above the provincial 46.5, with over-65s at 25.1% and foreign nationals at 7.3%. Average incomes are below those of Padua province.

Agna is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with a low expected ground acceleration of 0.060 g. In rural houses what matters most are foundations, rising damp and the state of the roof, typical issues on clay plains. The climate zone is E, with damp, foggy winters: insulation and the boiler make a difference.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Agna is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (89 of 101) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.060 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.
