Brendola, between the Berici hills and the Montecchio plain

Half hill, half plain: Brendola sits on the western side of the Berici hills, where the high ground drops towards the plain of western Vicenza province, between Vicenza and Montecchio Maggiore. On the hillside are the older village and houses scattered among vineyards, woods and narrow lanes; below lies Vò di Brendola, which grew near the main roads and the business areas. Vicenza is about fifteen kilometres away.

For anyone working in the city or at local firms, the Montecchio Maggiore junction on the A4 motorway is a few minutes away. The area is full of small and medium-sized industries, and many residents work in neighbouring towns. Homes range from detached and semi-detached houses on the plain to rural houses on the hill, some restored with gardens and views, others needing work. Declared incomes are in line with the Vicenza average.

Brendola has the same average age as the province, 45.9, and a population that has hardly changed: 6,738 residents in 2023, against 6,722 at the 2011 census. Over-65s make up 24.0%, just above 23.4% for the province, and foreign residents 7.8%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection department's map, like 33 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.141 g. The hazard is moderate, but for a house from the 1960s or 1970s it is worth having the structure and services checked and looking at the energy rating, which affects bills in cold winters (climate zone E).

The Berici are limestone hills with caves and sinkholes, and their slopes can produce landslides and subsidence; on the plain, ditches and flood hazard matter. The report checks everything for the individual address and, with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, traces the plot.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Brendola is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 33 of 112 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.141 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.
