Cornuda, between the Asolo hills and the Montello

Cornuda lies in the foothills of the province of Treviso, where the Asolo hills end and the long wooded ridge of the Montello begins. The river Piave is close by and Monte Grappa fills the view to the north-west. Its neighbours include Maser, known for its Palladian villa, and Crocetta del Montello. For shops, offices and secondary schools most people go to Montebelluna; Treviso is further south, down on the plain.

The Feltrina, the road that climbs from Treviso towards Feltre and the Belluno area, runs straight through the town. Along it you find workshops, shops and a fair amount of traffic, while the residential streets behind are lined with detached houses, small villas and low blocks of flats, with the hillside rising just behind the centre. Nearly everyone drives to work. The town is in climate zone E, so winters are cold and damp, and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 6,196 residents, almost the same as at the 2011 census: a fall of 0.3%. The average age of 45.7 matches the province (46.0) and over-65s make up 23.8%. What stands out is the share of foreign residents, 16.7%, high even by the standards of the Veneto.

Earthquakes need to be taken seriously here. Cornuda is in seismic zone 2 of the national classification by the Protezione Civile (Italy's Civil Protection Department), along with 71 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.224 g, a high value for northern Italy. The strip at the foot of the Grappa is one of the most exposed parts of the region. For a house built before current seismic standards, ask for the structural drawings and a record of work done over the years, and if you plan to renovate, consider strengthening the structure at the same time.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole municipality, so the report can trace an address to its plot. At the foot of the slopes and along the ditches coming down from the hills, it also checks landslide and flood hazard for the individual house.

For anyone buying in Cornuda, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
