Enego, the eastern edge of the Asiago plateau

Enego lies at the eastern end of the Asiago plateau, known in Italian as the Altopiano dei Sette Comuni, looking down into the Valsugana and the Brenta valley. The village is at around seven hundred metres, but its land climbs much higher, up to the pastures and forests of the Marcesina, known for cross-country skiing. Hairpin bends lead down to the valley floor, and for work and services people look to Bassano del Grappa or to Asiago itself.

Climate is the first thing to think about. In climate zone F winters are long and snowy, and a poorly insulated house is expensive to heat: ask for the energy performance certificate, last winter's bills and the state of the roof, which has to carry the weight of the snow. Try the access roads to the higher hamlets in winter too.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 1,520 residents in 2023, down 16.7% since 2011. Enego is much older than the province of Vicenza: an average age of 51.0 against 45.9, and over-65s at 31.1% against 23.4%. Foreign residents account for 3.1%. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average.

The province is split on earthquakes: 79 municipalities in zone 2 and 33 in zone 3. Enego is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.162 g. For a house built before the seismic building codes, ask for the design, the structural sign-off and any later work.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address to its land parcel. On the slopes running down to the Brenta, landslide hazard is read for the exact spot.

Key points

  • Far east of the Asiago plateau, above the Brenta valley.
  • Long winters: insulation and roof drive costs.
  • Seismic zone 2, expected acceleration about 0.162 g.
  • Over-65s at 31.1%, against 23.4% in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Enego is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (79 of 112) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.162 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Enego, 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.

How built-up it is

Official databases list no contaminated sites in Enego.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Enego: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 23 inhabited census areas in Enego. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 66 or more.
