Belfiore, the plain between Verona and San Bonifacio

Belfiore is a village on the eastern Verona plain, between Verona and San Bonifacio, in countryside of orchards, vineyards and arable fields a few metres above sea level. The river Adige is not far away. The location suits anyone working in Verona or in the industrial areas east of the city, and the A4 motorway and the Milan to Venice railway run through the area, with junctions and stations in nearby towns.

It is growing fast. In 2023 there were 3,379 residents, up 12.3% on 2011, with 371 more people, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 43.4, lower than 45.6 for the province, and over-65s make up 20.9%. Foreign nationals are 14.3%, a high share, linked partly to farm work. Average incomes are below the Verona average.

Buyers mostly find detached and terraced houses and small recent blocks of flats, plus farmhouses in the countryside. The data have no information on public transport stops, and for daily journeys a car is still the practical choice.

The province of Verona is split between seismic zones 2 and 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale. Belfiore is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.137 g. With a renovated country house, ask whether the work also covered the structure; for recent homes, ask for the design documents.

With the Adige not far off and a dense network of ditches and irrigation canals, the flood check on the address is the most important one. The report does it on the official maps. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency are available.
