Illasi, a hilltop castle and a valley of vineyards

The Val d'Illasi runs down from the Lessini mountains to the plain east of Verona, and the village sits where the valley widens, at around 150 metres. On the hill above the centre stand the ruins of a medieval castle, its tower clearly visible from the road, while large aristocratic villas lie at the foot of the slope. Vineyards and olive groves surround it all: the valley is part of the Valpolicella wine area, and some local estates are known for their Amarone.

Verona is about twenty kilometres away and many residents work there. The municipality has no railway; the line to Vicenza and Venice runs further south across the plain, so commuting depends on the car. Besides the main village there is the hamlet of Cellore, and housing ranges from old farm courtyards to small villas built in recent decades towards the plain.

There were 5,148 residents at the end of 2023, down 2.9% since 2011. The average age is 45.9, against 45.6 for the province, and over-65s account for 24.0%. Foreign residents make up 6.1%, and households average 2.52 people.

The figure to look at most carefully is the seismic one. Illasi is in zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like 55 municipalities in the Verona area, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.158 g. For a stone house in the centre, ask what structural work has been done; for a recent building, ask for the design date and compliance with the earthquake code.

The valley's stream is dry for much of the year but swells after heavy rain. The report checks the flood maps for the address and, on the slopes, the landslide maps. The cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are published.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Illasi is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (55 of 98) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.158 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Illasi, 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.9%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 6.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Illasi is in climate zone E, with 2,552 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 157 metres above sea level.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 10.9% of the land in Illasi, compared with 13.4% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Official databases list no open contaminated sites in Illasi; 2 have been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Illasi: 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

The cadastral maps for Illasi are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 39 inhabited census areas in Illasi. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 58 or more.
