Asolo, the hill town of a hundred horizons below Monte Grappa
The poet Giosuè Carducci called it the town of a hundred horizons. Asolo is a compact historic centre on a hill below its fortress, the Rocca, looking out over the plain around Treviso with the Monte Grappa massif behind it. Caterina Cornaro, the last queen of Cyprus, lived here, and the actress Eleonora Duse is buried in the cemetery of Sant'Anna.
The municipality extends well beyond the hill. The hamlets on the plain, such as Casella and Villa d'Asolo, have newer houses, industrial buildings and much of the local business; on the hills, vines are grown for Asolo Prosecco Superiore. In the old town and on the hills prices are high and the houses, often historic, come with restrictions on building work; in the hamlets the market is similar to that of the neighbouring foothill towns.
The population is stable and fairly young. At the end of 2023 there were 8,969 residents, up 0.2% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 44.3 against 46.0 for the province of Treviso, and 20.4% of residents are over 65, compared with 23.8%. Foreign residents make up 12.7%, and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.
Take earthquakes seriously here. Asolo is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 72 municipalities in the province, but expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.207 g, a high value, in a province that also has 4 municipalities in zone 1. The strip at the foot of Monte Grappa is one of the most earthquake-prone parts of the Veneto, so for an old villa or stone house ask what structural work has been done and under which permits.
On the hills, slope and ground stability need checking plot by plot; on the plain, flooding along the watercourses. The report does this for the address and finds the plot on the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Asolo is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (72 of 94) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.207 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
For anyone buying in Asolo, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 44 years, lower than the province average (46). 20% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 12.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Asolo is in climate zone E, with 2,662 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 190 metres above sea level.
