Anguillara Veneta, the Padua plain running down to the Adige
Anguillara Veneta is one of the last municipalities in the province of Padua before the Polesine: its land stretches south as far as the river Adige, on the border with the province of Rovigo. This is low plain, a few metres above sea level, reclaimed from marshland and now divided into regular fields crossed by drains and channels.
The village lives mainly from farming, and the housing market consists of village houses, detached homes and old farmhouses out in the countryside. Residents drive to Rovigo, Monselice or Padua. Services in the village are few, 18 in total according to the data, so for many things you have to leave the municipality. In a country house, check damp, the roof and the heating and electrics, and if there is a well or a septic tank, how water supply and drainage are handled.
The population is shrinking and ageing. In 2023 there were 4,159 residents, 9.5% fewer than in 2011; the average age is 49.5 against 46.5 for the province and over-65s make up 28.7%, compared with 24.2%. Foreign residents account for 6.1%. Declared incomes are below the Padua average.
Earthquake hazard is low. Anguillara Veneta is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 88 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.061 g.
Here the main question is water. The village sits between the Adige embankment and a network of channels that keeps the fields dry, and the official flood maps need to be read for the exact spot. The report does this from the address, using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for the municipality.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Anguillara Veneta 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 0.061 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.
