Grezzana, the Valpantena valley climbing to the Lessinia

The Valpantena opens north of Verona and climbs towards the Lessinia uplands. Grezzana takes up its central stretch, with the main village on the valley floor and many hamlets spread over the slopes, some well up the hillsides. The valley is known for stone and marble working, with workshops and sawmills along the road, and for vineyards producing Valpolicella from the Valpantena sub-zone.

The housing market reflects that range. Lower down there are detached houses, small blocks and terraces, about twenty minutes' drive from the city. Higher up there are stone hamlets called contrade, rural houses and villas with views, quieter but with narrow roads, colder winters and services further away. Anyone working in Verona should allow for the valley road, which is often busy at rush hour.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 10,694 residents in 2023, down 1.2% on 2011. The estimated average age is 45.1, just below the province (45.6), and over-65s make up 22.8%. Foreign residents account for 8.6%. Schools and supermarkets on record are few compared with the Verona average, 6 and 5.

Grezzana is in seismic zone 2, like 54 other municipalities in the province of Verona, mostly in the hill and mountain belt. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.164 g. In the stone hamlets, ask whether the walls have been strengthened and whether the roof was rebuilt to earthquake-resistant standards.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. On the valley sides and along the progni, the streams that come down from the Lessinia, landslides and flash floods should be checked for the exact spot.

For anyone buying in Grezzana, 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.
