Borgoricco and the Roman field grid north-east of Padua

Borgoricco's roads run dead straight and cross at right angles because they still follow the graticolato romano, the grid the Romans laid out when they divided up this farmland north-east of Padua among settlers. The town has a museum devoted to that Roman land division, and its town hall was designed by the architect Aldo Rossi.

Today Borgoricco is chosen mostly by young families who work in Padua, around Camposampiero or towards Castelfranco Veneto. Homes are mainly detached and semi-detached houses built in recent decades on regular plots, plus small blocks of flats, with sheds and workshops on the edges of the villages. Traffic builds up on the provincial roads at rush hour, so check how far the house is from the busiest ones, for noise as well.

By the standards of the Padua area, these are young figures. At the end of 2023 there were 9,002 residents, up 6.2% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 43.8 against 46.5 for the province, and only 18.8% of residents are over 65, against 24.2%. Households average 2.52 people, foreign residents account for 10.3%, and declared incomes are just below the provincial average.

Borgoricco is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 89 of the 101 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.114 g. For a recent house, ask for the structural sign-off and the energy performance certificate; for one from the 1970s, the condition of the roof and floors.

The land is low and flat, kept dry by ditches and drainage channels that need regular upkeep. The report reads the official flood maps at the address and uses the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) to identify the plot.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Borgoricco 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 0.114 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.
