Castelfranco Veneto, Giorgione's walled town
Brick walls with a moat and a civic tower still enclose the medieval castle that gave the town its name. Inside, in the cathedral, hangs the altarpiece painted by Giorgione, who was born in Castelfranco Veneto. Beyond the walls the town has spread across the plain in the western part of the province of Treviso, towards Padua and Vicenza.
The station is a rail junction, with trains to Venice, Padua, Treviso, Vicenza and Bassano, which is handy for anyone who works in one city and has family in another. The hospital, which also hosts a branch of the Veneto Oncology Institute, partly explains the healthcare figures: 35 facilities on record, 1.06 per 1,000 residents against 0.55 in the province. Sports facilities are also above average, at 1.42 per 1,000 residents.
Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 33,057 residents in 2023, up 0.5% since 2011. The average age is 46.8, over-65s make up 24.9% and foreign residents 8.4%. Average declared income is above the provincial figure.
The province of Treviso has 4 municipalities in seismic zone 1, the highest on the Civil Protection scale, towards the hills and the Pre-Alps, and 72 in zone 2. Castelfranco is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.175 g, fairly high for the plain. Inside the walls and in 1970s apartment blocks, ask for structural surveys and details of work already done.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the land registry maps and the report traces the address to its plot. The Muson river and the network of channels and ditches on the plain are what to watch for flooding, checked for the individual address.
