Cessalto, lowland Treviso on the motorway to Trieste

Many people know Cessalto from its junction on the A4 Venice to Trieste motorway, and being close to the motorway is still its most practical feature. Cessalto lies in the far south-east of the province of Treviso, on reclaimed land towards San Donà di Piave and Motta di Livenza, a few metres above sea level, among fields, vineyards and canals.

People who choose Cessalto usually work elsewhere, around Treviso, Venice or western Friuli, and are looking for a detached house or newer home with a garden in a quiet village. Heavy traffic uses the junction and the link roads: before buying, look at what surrounds the property. Average declared incomes are below the Treviso average.

There were 3,791 residents in 2023, a change of -1.1% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The town is young by Veneto standards: an average age of 43.6 against 46.0 in the province, with over-65s at 20.8%. Foreign residents make up 14.5%.

Most of the province of Treviso is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, with 72 municipalities, mainly in the hills; Cessalto is one of the 18 in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.106 g. In houses built or extended in the 1970s and 1980s, insulation, heating and ground-floor damp matter more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report traces an address to its plot. On reclaimed land this low, kept dry by canals and pumping stations, checking flood maps at the exact spot comes first.
