Gorgo al Monticano, on the river between Oderzo and Motta
The Monticano, a lowland river that joins the Livenza a little further downstream, runs through the village and gives it its name. Gorgo al Monticano lies in the eastern part of the province of Treviso, between Oderzo and Motta di Livenza, in flat countryside of vineyards, arable fields and scattered houses only a few metres above sea level.
Buyers will mostly find detached and semi-detached houses with gardens, plus the odd restored Venetian villa out in the fields. For work people look mainly to Oderzo, Treviso and the Pordenone area, nearly always by car. Average declared incomes are lower than the Treviso average.
In 2023 there were 4,007 residents, down 4.2% on 2011, or 175 fewer, according to Istat, the national statistics office. Average age (45.9) and the share of over-65s (23.5%) match the province. Foreign residents make up 13.0%, a fairly high share, and households have 2.51 members on average.
The province of Treviso is exposed to earthquakes: 72 of its 94 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification and a few are in zone 1. Gorgo al Monticano is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.135 g. It is still sensible to ask for the construction date and any structural work, especially for old brick farmhouses.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the plot from the address. With the river running through the village and a dense network of ditches and drainage channels, the thing to check most carefully is flood hazard, which the report reads from the official maps for each address.
