Bolzano Vicentino, on the plain north-east of Vicenza
Look up Bolzano Vicentino on a map and you will find it on the flat Veneto plain a few kilometres north-east of Vicenza. It has nothing to do with Bolzano, the city in South Tyrol. The centre is about forty-five metres above sea level, and the municipality includes the village of Lisiera on the side facing Vicenza, along with fields, small scattered settlements and business parks.
It is a place for families working in Vicenza or at local firms. Homes are mostly detached houses and small blocks of flats on level ground, with no slopes to deal with. For the hospital, secondary schools and offices, people go to Vicenza; locally, Overture Maps records 38 services, with 0.62 supermarkets per 1,000 residents against 0.45 in the province.
The population was 6,502 in 2023, virtually unchanged since 2011 (-0.1%) according to Istat, the national statistics office. Households have 2.40 members on average, over-65s make up 20.8% against 23.4% in the province, and foreign residents 5.9%. Average incomes are close to, and slightly below, the Vicenza average.
Earthquakes surprise many people. Bolzano Vicentino is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, which runs from 1 (highest) to 4, like 79 municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.154 g. For a house built before current seismic rules, ask for structural reports and details of work done, as well as the energy rating, which affects bills in climate zone E.
The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. The plain is crossed by rivers and ditches fed by natural springs, so flood risk changes from street to street and is checked for the individual plot.

For anyone buying in Bolzano Vicentino, 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.
