Campo San Martino, on the banks of the Brenta
The river Brenta runs along the western edge of the municipality and separates it from Piazzola sul Brenta. Campo San Martino is a lowland town in the northern part of the province of Padua, about twenty kilometres north of the city, with the hamlet of Marsango. The town hall is under thirty metres above sea level.
The river shapes the area: embankments, floodplain and fields along the bank, and beyond them the village with its housing and small industrial estates. People mostly live in detached houses and villas, and households are large, 2.53 people on average. Services per head are good: 6 school sites and 8 sports facilities, 1.43 per 1,000 residents against 0.86 in the province. For work people drive to Padua or nearby industrial areas.
There were 5,600 residents in 2023, down 2.2% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 45.9, a little under the provincial 46.5, and over-65s are 24.2%, exactly as in the province. Foreign residents make up 8.4%. Declared incomes are below the Padua average.
The town is in seismic zone 3, like most of the province (89 municipalities out of 101), with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.130 g. For a 1970s or 1980s house, look at the structure as well as the services and insulation.
Near the Brenta, flood hazard needs a careful look, and it varies a great deal between a house right by the embankment and one in the village centre. The report checks it for the address and, thanks to the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), also identifies the plot.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Campo San Martino 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 0.130 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.2%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 8.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.
