For example: Via Andrea Palladio 1, Caltrano.

Caltrano, at the foot of the Asiago plateau

Behind Caltrano the ground climbs steeply to the Sette Comuni plateau, the large Asiago upland, while in front the upper Vicenza plain opens out. The village sits in this foothill belt of the Alto Vicentino, close to the Astico valley, with Thiene a few kilometres away for services, secondary schools and work, and Vicenza within driving distance.

The area has long been tied to the small industry and craft businesses of the Alto Vicentino, and many residents work at firms in nearby towns. Homes are detached and semi-detached houses and village houses, with a few scattered hamlets on the lower slopes; for these, allow for narrow roads, gradients and colder winters than on the plain. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Vicenza.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,523 residents in 2023, down 3.2% on 2011. The average age is 46.3, close to the provincial 45.9, with 24.5% over 65 and 5.0% foreign residents.

The Vicenza foothills have seismic activity to take into account: Caltrano is in zone 2, like 78 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.157 g. For a house built before recent codes, it helps to know the design date and any structural work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published. At the foot of the slopes and along the streams coming down from the plateau, the report reads the official landslide and flood maps for the address.

For anyone buying in Caltrano, 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.
