Grisignano di Zocco, between Vicenza and Padua on the A4

For many people in the Veneto, Grisignano di Zocco is first of all an exit on the A4 motorway and the name of a fair, the Fiera del Soco, one of the oldest in the area. The municipality lies on the plain between Vicenza and Padua, on the boundary between the two provinces, and that position is why people move here: both cities are close, and the town also has a station on the Milan to Venice railway.

The land is flat, with the main village, a few hamlets, workshops and warehouses near the motorway and open farmland. Homes are mostly detached houses or small, fairly recent blocks of flats. On a plain crossed by rivers and drainage channels, the official flood maps need to be read for the exact address, and the report does this automatically.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 4,330 residents in 2023, up 0.9% on 2011. The average age is 45.8, almost the same as the province of Vicenza (45.9), and foreign residents make up 11.4%. Households have 2.33 members on average. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Two seismic zones coexist in the province of Vicenza: 79 municipalities in zone 2 and 33 in zone 3. Grisignano is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of around 0.114 g. The hazard is moderate; for a house built before the 1980s it is still worth asking what work has been done on the structure and roof.

  • A4 exit and a station on the Milan to Venice line.
  • 4,330 residents, up 0.9% since 2011.
