Cartigliano, the Brenta plain below Bassano

Heading south from Bassano del Grappa along the river Brenta, the plain opens out and you reach Cartigliano, a flat municipality at about 85 metres in a busy area of small towns, workshops and small firms. In the centre stands Villa Morosini Cappello, one of the Venetian villas of the area, with its park.

The town is compact: detached and terraced houses and low-rise flats built mostly from the 1970s onwards, a few older houses near the villa and the church, and farmland across the rest of the municipality. For work, secondary schools and services people look to Bassano, a few minutes' drive away. The data show no supermarket in the municipality, so shopping means going to nearby towns.

There are 3,665 residents in 2023, down 3.6% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 45.6 is in line with the 45.9 of the province of Vicenza, and households have 2.59 members on average, more than in many towns closer to the city. Foreign residents make up 5.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The belt at the foot of Monte Grappa and the Asiago plateau is among the parts of the Veneto most exposed to earthquakes. In the province, 79 municipalities are in zone 2 and 33 in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification (the national emergency agency): Cartigliano is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.173 g in the built-up area. For a house from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and check insulation and systems. Near the Brenta, the report checks the official flood maps for the address.
