Brogliano, in the Agno valley between Valdagno and the A4

Brogliano lies in the Agno valley, north-west of Vicenza, where the plain gives way to the hills rising towards Valdagno. This is a working valley with a long industrial tradition, above all the textile industry centred on Valdagno, and factory buildings and homes still alternate along the valley floor.

For anyone working in the Vicenza area the location is practical. Heading down the valley you reach Montecchio Maggiore, with its junction on the A4 motorway, and from there Vicenza and Verona; most journeys are made by car. Homes are largely detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats from recent decades, while up in the hills there are more isolated hamlets, known locally as contrade, with rural buildings where access and road conditions matter.

By Veneto standards the population is young. In 2023 there were 4,037 residents, up 3.5% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 43.3, against 45.9 for the province, and over-65s make up 18.0%, against 23.4%. Households average 2.43 people, foreign residents account for 4.0% and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

The province of Vicenza is split on earthquake risk: 79 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 and 33 in zone 3. Brogliano is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.161 g. For a house from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and whether any strengthening has been done, perhaps alongside energy upgrades, which count in climate zone E, where heating bills are significant.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report finds the land parcel from the address. It also checks that spot for landslides on the slopes and flooding near the streams on the valley floor.

For anyone buying in Brogliano, 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.

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Brogliano.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Brogliano: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 41 inhabited census areas in Brogliano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 61 or more.
