For example: Via Trieste 1, Arcade.

Arcade, at the foot of the Montello north of Treviso

Arcade covers a stretch of the upper Treviso plain closed off to the north by the Montello, the long wooded hill that separates the plain from the river Piave. Treviso is about fifteen kilometres south, Spresiano and Nervesa della Battaglia border the village, and vineyards, fields and small business areas alternate all around. This is Prosecco country, and the grape is an important crop here.

It is a residential municipality, chosen by families working in Treviso, Conegliano or at local firms. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats, with gardens; the historic centre is small. For travel, Spresiano station on the Venice to Udine line is a few kilometres away, and Treviso has frequent trains to Venice. The village has 25 recorded services.

The population is holding up: 4,475 residents in 2023, up 2.5% on 2011. It is also young by Veneto standards, with an average age of 44.7 against 46.0 in the province and over-65s at 21.0%. Households are large by Italian standards (2.47 people) and declared incomes are slightly below the Treviso average.

Seismic risk should not be underestimated here. Arcade is in zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like most of the province (72 of 94 municipalities), and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.200 g, a medium-high value. For a house built before the 2000s, ask for the structural design and any seismic upgrading, as well as the energy rating. The report also checks the flood maps along the smaller watercourses for the address.
