Cavaion Veronese, hills between Lake Garda and the Adige
From the hills of Cavaion Veronese it takes only a few minutes to drive down to the eastern shore of Lake Garda, towards Bardolino and Garda, or the other way into the Adige valley. The municipality lies north-west of Verona on the moraine hills left by the ancient Garda glacier, covered with Bardolino vineyards and olive trees. The Affi junction on the Brenner motorway is right next door.
That position explains the growth. Between the lake, the motorway and Verona, Cavaion has become a place where people live and commute from every day. New districts of villas, terraced houses and small residential complexes have been added to the old core, and some homes are used as holiday houses or let to tourists. Declared incomes are above the Verona average.
The figures bear this out: 6,103 residents in 2023, 632 more than in 2011, growth of 11.6%. The population is young, with an average age of 44.3 against 45.6 for the province and over-65s at 20.0%; foreign residents make up 8.3%.
Earthquakes are the point not to overlook. In the province of Verona, 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 of the Protezione Civile classification (Italy's Civil Protection Department) and the other 43 in zone 3. Cavaion is in the first group, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.164 g. For a flat in a residential complex or a 1980s villa, ask for the structural design and inspection certificate; for an old rural building to restore, you need a full survey.
On the hills the report checks landslide hazard and in low-lying spots flood hazard, for the individual address. The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report traces the plot.
