Campolongo Maggiore, reclaimed land between Padua and the lagoon

Campolongo Maggiore lies in the south-west of the metropolitan area of Venice, on the border with the province of Padua, on a low plain only a few metres above sea level, criss-crossed by canals, drainage ditches and embankments. Besides the main village, the chief hamlets are Bojon and Liettoli. The Riviera del Brenta, known for its Venetian villas and shoe factories, is just to the north, and both Padua and Mestre are within driving distance.

It is a residential municipality, with many detached and semi-detached houses with gardens, small workshops and fields between one village and the next. Prices are generally lower than on the Riviera itself or in the suburbs of Padua. Public transport is limited, and a car is essential for work, secondary schools and services.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 10,720 residents in 2023, up 3.7% on 2011. The population is younger than the province: estimated average age 46.0 against 47.6, over-65s at 22.7% against 26.0%. Households average 2.45 people and foreign residents make up 6.1%. Recorded services cover the basics, with 6 schools and 3 pharmacies, and there are few restaurants compared with a province shaped by tourism in Venice.

Every municipality in the metropolitan area is in seismic zone 3. In Campolongo the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, about 0.066 g. Reclaimed land can be compressible, though, so in older houses look for cracks, settling foundations and damp on the ground floor.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On a plain this low, kept dry by ditches and pumping stations, flood hazard is the key figure to read for each address.

  • Low plain of canals and ditches, just south of the Riviera del Brenta.
  • Population up 3.7% since 2011.
  • Over-65s at 22.7%, below 26.0% in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Campolongo Maggiore is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.066 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.

The estimated average age is 46 years, lower than the province average (48). 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 6.1% of the population.
