Ceggia, reclaimed land between the Piave and the Livenza

Between the rivers Piave and Livenza, in the eastern Veneto, the land was reclaimed from marshes and now lies a couple of metres above sea level. Ceggia sits in the middle of this plain of large, regular fields, rows of trees, drainage channels and pumping stations that keep the ground dry. San Donà di Piave is about ten kilometres away, the beaches of Eraclea and Caorle less than half an hour, Venice and Treviso under an hour.

The Venice-Trieste railway has a station in the town and the A4 motorway runs nearby: for a place of this size the connections are good, and many residents work in San Donà, Portogruaro or towards Mestre.

On such low-lying land, flood exposure is the first thing to check, and it varies from street to street depending on ground level and proximity to the channels. The report checks it on the official maps starting from the address. In older houses, also look at damp in ground-floor walls and the state of the foundations, on clay soils that can settle.

The population is practically stable: 6,203 residents in 2023 against 6,213 in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics institute. Ceggia is younger than the province of Venice, one of the oldest in the region: average age 45.2 against 47.6, with 21.9% over 65 against 26.0%. Foreign residents make up 10.4% and average incomes are close to the provincial level.

All 44 municipalities in the province of Venice are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection scale, where 1 is the highest hazard; here expected ground acceleration is about 0.097 g. The soft soils of reclaimed land can amplify shaking, so even where the hazard is moderate it is worth asking about the year of construction and the type of structure.

Key points

  • Reclaimed plain between the Piave and the Livenza, near San Donà.
  • Station on the Venice-Trieste line, A4 motorway close by.

Overview

Ceggia is a municipality in the province of Venezia, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 6,203 residents, ranked 34 of 44 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ceggia 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 0.097 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 45 years, lower than the province average (48). 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 10.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Ceggia is in climate zone E, with 2,649 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 2 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 14.4% of the land in Ceggia, compared with 14.1% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 2.7 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Ceggia is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 4 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Ceggia, and 2 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Ceggia: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 46 inhabited census areas in Ceggia. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 59 or more.
