Dueville, between Vicenza and the springs of the Bacchiglione

Dueville lies on the plain north of Vicenza, on the road to Thiene, in the belt of springs where water coming down from the mountains resurfaces and gives rise to the Bacchiglione river. Around the main town there is a mix of fields, small business areas and villages such as Povolaro, and much of the landscape is still farmland.

Vicenza is about ten kilometres away and the Vicenza-Schio railway stops in the town, which helps anyone working or studying in the city. The market is mostly detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats built from the 1970s onwards, with some farmhouses in the countryside needing renovation.

Many people do not expect it, but much of the province of Vicenza is in seismic zone 2 of the national classification set by the Civil Protection Department: 79 of the 112 municipalities, Dueville included. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.161 g, a medium value. For houses built before the recent earthquake codes, ask for the structural design and any work done, especially if the building has been extended.

There were 13,596 residents in 2023, down 2.1% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated mean age of 46.5 is close to the provincial figure, and over-65s are 25.1% against 23.4%. Foreign residents are 6.7%, and declared incomes are in line with the provincial average.

The water table here is close to the surface. Cellars, basement rooms and underground garages can suffer from damp or seepage, and near ditches and streams flood hazard should be checked; the report does so on the official maps for the individual address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the parcel.

  • Spring-fed plain north of Vicenza, station on the Vicenza-Schio line.

For anyone buying in Dueville, 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.
