Agugliaro, Lower Vicenza plain and Villa Saraceno

Agugliaro lies on the plain of the Lower Vicenza area, south of the Berici Hills and towards the border with the province of Padua. The land is low and flat, marked by canals and drainage ditches from old reclamation schemes, with farmland and scattered houses. Villa Saraceno, one of the villas designed by Andrea Palladio, stands within the municipality.

Buyers mainly find detached houses, small villas and farmhouses here, with countryside all around. For work, people look to the towns of the lower plain and, further afield, Vicenza and Padua, and almost every journey is made by car. The report measures the distance from the exact address to schools, pharmacies and shops.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,402 residents in 2023, slightly down (1.4%) on the 1,422 of 2011. The average age is 45.3, close to the provincial 45.9, and over-65s make up 22.7%. Foreign residents account for 4.9%. Declared incomes are below the Vicenza average.

On low, reclaimed land, water is the first thing to check. The report looks up the address on the official flood maps and measures ground elevation; for a house with a basement, ask whether it has ever taken in water.

On earthquakes, Agugliaro is in seismic zone 3, like 33 of the 112 municipalities in the province of Vicenza, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.084 g. In old farmhouses the weak points are usually the roof and brick walls. Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality.

Key points

  • Lower Vicenza plain, south of the Berici Hills.
  • Palladio's Villa Saraceno within the municipality.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Agugliaro is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 33 of 112 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.084 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.
