Gazzo Veronese, lowland farmland on the Mantua border

In the far south of the province of Verona, where the low-lying Bassa Veronese meets the province of Mantua, Gazzo Veronese is a farming municipality on the plain, only a few metres above sea level. It has no single centre: besides the main village there are hamlets such as Maccacari, Roncanova and San Pietro in Valle, separated by fields and drainage channels.

Verona is a long way off, around forty kilometres, and residents rely on nearby towns such as Nogara for many services. Daily life needs a car. The market consists of village houses, detached homes and old farm courtyards, with barns and haylofts that can sometimes be converted: before buying one, ask a surveyor what the local plan allows and what it would cost to redo the roofs and floors.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 5,179 residents in 2023, down 5.4% on 2011. The average age is 47.0 against 45.6 in the province, and 25.7% are over 65. Foreign residents make up 11.8%, a high share for a rural area. Declared incomes are well below the Verona average. Schools are spread across the hamlets: 6 schools and education sites, or 1.16 per 1,000 residents against 0.84 in the province.

In the province, 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification; Gazzo is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.086 g. In brick farmhouses, what counts is how the walls are tied to the floors and the state of the roof.

On such a low plain, water is the thing to watch: drainage channels, ditches and a shallow water table. Cellars and basements can be damp, and the report checks the flood maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.

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