Brugine, Saccisica farmland between Padua and the lagoon

The Saccisica is the plain around Piove di Sacco, between Padua and the Venetian lagoon, and Brugine is one of its farming municipalities. The land is flat and low, a few metres above sea level, crossed by drainage ditches and reclamation canals. The village is small and gathered around its church, with hamlets and houses scattered among the fields, a few Venetian villas and a number of small workshops along the provincial roads.

People who live here often work in Padua, in Piove di Sacco or in Padua's industrial zone, and get about by car. The market is mostly detached houses with gardens, semi-detached homes and farm buildings to restore, with prices lower than in the city's commuter belt. Services are few: Overture Maps records 35 in all, including 5 school sites, and for healthcare and larger shops people go to nearby towns.

Brugine has gained residents in recent years: at the end of 2023 there were 7,132, according to Istat, the national statistics office, up 4.7% on 2011. It is younger than the Padua average, with an average age of 45.2 against 46.5 and over-65s at 21.0% against 24.2%. Foreign residents make up 7.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The seismic zone is 3 on the Civil Protection scale, the same as 88 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration is low, about 0.063 g. On the soft soils of a low plain, though, look carefully for cracks and subsidence, especially in farm buildings and houses extended several times.

Water is the thing to check. With land this low, drainage depends on the reclamation canals and pumps, and flood hazard can change from one field to the next; the report checks the official maps for the address. Climate zone E, with damp, foggy winters, also weighs on heating bills. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report finds the plot.

Key points

  • Farming municipality of the Saccisica, south-east of Padua.
  • Population up 4.7% since 2011, average age 45.2.
  • Seismic zone 3, low acceleration: about 0.063 g.
  • Low reclaimed plain: flood hazard to be checked.

Overview

Brugine is a municipality in the province of Padova, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 7,132 residents, ranked 40 of 101 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Brugine 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 0.063 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 4.7%. The estimated average age is 45 years, in line with the province. 21% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 7.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Brugine declared an average taxable income of 23,668 euros, below the provincial average (26,932 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Brugine is in climate zone E, with 2,360 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 7 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Brugine has 5 schools and 2 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 2 grocery shops and supermarkets, 1 healthcare facility and 4 sports facilities.

There are 0.1 healthcare facilities per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.7).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 16.8% of the land in Brugine, compared with 18.7% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Brugine is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list no open contaminated sites in Brugine; 2 have been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Brugine: 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

The cadastral maps for Brugine are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 51 inhabited census areas in Brugine. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 64 or more.
