Chiarano, the Treviso plain between Oderzo and Motta di Livenza

Chiarano is a lowland municipality in the eastern part of the province of Treviso, between Oderzo and Motta di Livenza, only a few metres above sea level. The landscape is typical of reclaimed Veneto farmland: cultivated fields, vineyards, rows of trees, and ditches and canals draining the countryside, with the village and its hamlets strung along the roads.

Buyers here mostly look for a detached house or a villa with a garden, and people working in the industrial areas around Oderzo or towards Treviso and Venice commute by car. There are farms and wineries next to the village: if you want a house in the countryside, allow for vineyard spraying and farm traffic during the working months. Average declared incomes are below the Treviso average.

In 2023 there were 3,629 residents, down 1.8% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is younger than the province, with an average age of 44.5 against 46.0, and foreign residents make up 13.0%, a high share. Households have 2.54 members on average.

The province of Treviso is split between seismic zone 2, with 72 municipalities, and zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale. Chiarano is among the 18 municipalities in zone 3, further from the foothills, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.117 g. For a house built before the 1980s it is still worth knowing how the structure is built, as well as the state of insulation and heating.

On such low ground water is the thing to watch: the report checks the flood maps and the distance from watercourses at the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the land parcel is found from the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Chiarano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 18 of 94 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.117 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.
