Caldiero, Roman hot springs east of Verona

The warm springs that give Caldiero its name were already in use in Roman times, and the Terme di Giunone, with their open-air pools, are still what the town is known for outside the province. Caldiero lies on the plain east of Verona, along the old main road to Vicenza, between San Martino Buon Albergo and Soave, where the first foothills of the Lessini mountains run down into farmland.

It is a place people commute from to Verona or to the businesses on the east side, with the Verona Est and Soave motorway exits a few minutes away. The market is made up of detached and terraced houses and recent blocks of flats, plus the old farm courtyards in the centre. Newcomers are usually after space and lower prices than in the city, about a quarter of an hour from Verona.

Population growth is clear. Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 8,039 residents in 2023, up 9.0% on the 7,374 of 2011. It is also a young town: an average age of 43.0 against 45.6 for the province, with over-65s at 18.5% against 23.2%. Households average 2.49 people and foreign residents make up 13.8%. There are 9 places of education, above the provincial average per resident.

The eastern Verona area has a higher earthquake hazard than many people assume. The Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile) places Caldiero in zone 2, like 54 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.149 g. Even for a 1980s house, ask for the structural design; for newer homes, check they were built to current codes.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available and the report finds the plot from the address. On a plain crossed by ditches and streams coming down from the valleys, flood hazard should be checked for the individual address.
