Cogollo del Cengio, the Astico valley below the Asiago plateau

Cogollo del Cengio is in the Astico valley, in the province of Vicenza, where the valley narrows and starts climbing towards the Asiago plateau. Above the village rises Monte Cengio, a First World War site, and the land runs from the valley floor, where most homes and businesses are, up to the wooded slopes. For work people look to the industrial area of the upper Vicenza province and towns such as Thiene and Schio.

Buyers find detached houses and small blocks of flats on the valley floor, and older stone houses in the outlying hamlets. How close a property is to the Astico torrent and how steep the slope is should be checked for the address: the report uses the official landslide and flood maps and measures elevation and gradient.

In 2023 there were 3,106 residents, down 8.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.4, against 45.9 for the province; over-65s are 26.4% and foreign residents 4.5%. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 78 others in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.154 g. For buildings from before recent seismic standards, ask whether structural checks or works have been carried out.

Winter in the valley is cold, and some stretches get little sun (climate zone E), so orientation and insulation make a big difference to running costs. The Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps and the report traces the plot from the address.
