Casalserugo, on the Bacchiglione south of Padua

Casalserugo is a village on the plain around Padua, about ten kilometres south of the city, with the river Bacchiglione running through it on its way towards Bovolenta. The land is flat and only a few metres above sea level, criss-crossed by fields, embankments and drainage canals, and the centre has grown with detached houses, terraces and small blocks of flats.

For many residents Padua is where they work or study: the city, with its industrial zone and ring road, is a short drive away. People moving here are usually after a detached house with a garden close to the city, in a quiet village with the everyday services; for the hospital, the university and bigger shops, they go into Padua.

There were 5,354 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 1.8% on 2011. The average age is 47.7 (46.5 in the province), over-65s make up 25.0% and foreign residents 5.2%. Households average 2.34 people.

Water matters more than earthquakes here. The village sits between the Bacchiglione and a network of drainage ditches and reclamation canals, on low ground where river floods need watching. Before buying, ask whether the house has ever been flooded, check the level of the ground floor against the street and how any basement is used, and read the flood hazard for the address in the report.

Seismic hazard is moderate: Casalserugo is in zone 3 of the classification by the Protezione Civile (Civil Protection Department), like 89 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.068 g. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available and the report traces the street number back to the plot.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
