Ceregnano, the Polesine between Rovigo and Adria

Between Rovigo and Adria, in the heart of the Polesine, the land between the Adige and the Po, Ceregnano is a municipality of flat countryside a few metres above sea level. The landscape is shaped by reclamation: open fields, canals, embankments and houses strung along the roads. Rovigo is close, and the provincial capital is the natural place for the hospital, secondary schools and jobs.

The population is among the oldest in the Veneto region, as across the province. In 2023 there were 3,401 residents, down 7.9% since 2011 (290 fewer people), according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 49.0, the same as 49.0 for the province of Rovigo, and over-65s make up 27.1%. Foreign nationals are 8.0%. Average incomes are a little below the provincial figure.

Buyers mostly find detached houses with land, often from the 1960s and 1970s, and farmhouses out in the country. There is plenty of choice among large homes. The data have no information on public transport stops, so plan on a car and check bus services to Rovigo.

All 50 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, and in Ceregnano the expected ground acceleration is about 0.063 g, a low value. In homes from the 1960s and 1970s, the useful checks are the roof, insulation and services.

The Polesine is reclaimed land, and the report looks up the official flood maps for the exact address. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency are available.

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