Chiuppano, a small Alto Vicentino municipality on the Astico

Chiuppano is an Alto Vicentino municipality with a small territory, squeezed between the plain and the mouth of the Astico valley, a few kilometres from Thiene. Its land is almost all flat and largely built up, with the village running seamlessly into its neighbours. Behind it rise the ridges that lead up to the Asiago plateau.

Daily life revolves around local firms, from engineering to textiles, and the services of Thiene. House hunters find detached and terraced houses, small blocks of flats and a few older village homes. With such a small territory, differences between streets are mainly about how close you are to busy roads and industrial areas, worth checking before buying. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,519 residents in 2023, down 4.1% since 2011. The average age is 46.7, close to the 45.9 of the province of Vicenza, with 24.7% over 65 and 5.6% foreign residents.

The Vicenza foothills have seismic activity that should not be overlooked: Chiuppano is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.159 g. Anyone buying a house built before the 2000s should ask about the structural design and any later work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre is published. The report traces the address to its land parcel and checks the official flood maps, useful for homes near the Astico and the canals.
