Crespino, the Polesine along the Po embankment

Crespino is a village in the Polesine, the low-lying land around Rovigo, built along the river Po, with many houses lined up along the embankment and flat reclaimed farmland stretching towards Rovigo. The land is almost at sea level, and the river, with its embankments and floodplain, is what defines the landscape. Rovigo provides work, the hospital and secondary schools, a short drive away.

There were 1,762 residents in 2023, down 10.6% on 2011, or 208 fewer people. The average age is 49.9, close to 49.0 for the province, and over-65s are 31.7%, against the provincial 28.1%. Foreign residents make up 11.3% and households have 2.29 members on average.

The market consists of village houses along the embankment road, farmhouses in the countryside and newer detached houses. Declared incomes are below the provincial average. Cold, damp winters (climate zone E) and moisture in the ground are what weigh most on an older house, so plaster, foundations and heating need checking.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Rovigo are in seismic zone 3, and in Crespino the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.069 g.

With the Po this close, the first thing to look at is the flood hazard at the exact address. The report reads the official flood maps and finds the plot on the cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate).

Key points

  • Polesine, houses lined up along the Po embankment.
  • Reclaimed plain almost at sea level.
  • All 50 municipalities in Rovigo province in zone 3.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Crespino is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 50 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.069 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection.
