Colognola ai Colli, vineyards and plain between Verona and Soave
Colognola ai Colli lies east of Verona, on the road towards Soave and Vicenza. The name says it: the northern part climbs into hills planted with vines and olives, between the Val d'Illasi and the neighbouring valleys, while the southern part drops to the plain, crossed by the main road and the big transport routes heading east. The main village and the hamlets are spread between these two bands.
For people working in Verona it is a convenient choice, with reasonable drive times and a wider, cheaper range of homes than the city. On the plain there are mostly detached and terraced houses and recent blocks of flats; on the hills, single houses and old farm courtyards, with more space and views over the vineyards but narrower roads. The open data have no information on public transport in the municipality, so check buses and timetables directly.
It is one of the fastest growing towns in the province of Verona: 8,704 residents in 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics institute, up 6.9% on 2011, or 563 more people. The mean age is 44.0 against 45.6 in the province and 20.6% are over 65, the profile of young families. Foreign residents are 12.1%.
Earthquake risk needs to be taken into account. In the province of Verona 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 and 43 in zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification; Colognola is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.151 g. If you are buying a farm courtyard or rural house on the hills, ask whether the renovation included structural work; for a recent flat, the year of the building's design already tells you a lot.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps. The report goes from the address to the land parcel and reads the official landslide maps on the slopes and flood maps on the plain, where streams come down from the valleys.

- Vineyard hills and plain east of Verona, towards Soave.
