Cornedo Vicentino, halfway up the Agno valley

The Agno valley climbs from Trissino towards Valdagno and Recoaro, and Cornedo Vicentino takes up its central section. The valley floor is narrow, with the town, its factories and the main road running alongside the river; on either side wooded hills rise, with contrade (small clusters of houses) and hamlets scattered over the slopes. It is a valley with an industrial tradition, tied for generations to the textile industry.

Buyers here find two different settings a few minutes apart. Down below there are blocks of flats, detached and terraced houses, close to services and jobs but also to the main road, which gets busy at rush hour. Up on the hills there are old country houses and rustic buildings with land, quieter and often cheaper, but with narrow roads, longer winters and further to go for shopping. For Vicenza and the motorway, you head down the valley towards Montecchio Maggiore.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 11,672 residents in 2023, down 2.2% on 2011. The estimated average age is 45.7, practically the same as the provincial 45.9, and over-65s make up 23.5%. Foreign residents account for 7.5%. Declared incomes are close to the average for the province of Vicenza.

Like the rest of the valleys and foothills around Vicenza, Cornedo is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection Department's scale, along with 78 other municipalities in the province, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.163 g. For old stone houses in the hill hamlets, often extended in several stages, ask what work has been done on walls, floors and roof.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. In a narrow valley there are two natural hazards, and both depend on location: flooding near the Agno and its tributaries, landslides on the slopes. The report checks them for the individual house.

  • Valley-floor town with hamlets scattered over the hills.
