Isola Rizza, farmland in the lower Verona plain

Isola Rizza is a municipality on the lower Verona plain, south-east of Verona, in the stretch of countryside running towards Legnago. The land is flat and crossed by canals and ditches, with the village in the middle and hamlets and rural courtyards scattered among arable fields, orchards and livestock farms.

People who choose to live here find mainly detached houses, small villas and old farm courtyards (corti), priced below the towns of the Verona commuter belt. Work is in local farms and workshops, in Legnago or towards the city, and people get about by car. In old corti, look carefully at the state of roofs and walls and at damp on the ground floors.

The population is stable: 3,264 residents in 2023, up 0.3% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 44.2 is a little below the province of Verona (45.6), and over-65s are 21.4%. Foreign residents make up 12.3%, a strong presence linked partly to farm work. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In the Verona area, 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, mostly towards the mountains, while Isola Rizza is among the 43 in zone 3. The expected acceleration is about 0.112 g. For a masonry farm building, the ties between walls and floors are the first thing to check.

On a low plain cut by canals, flooding and standing water depend on the exact position: the report checks the official maps for the address and finds the cadastral parcel.

Key points

  • Lower Verona plain, south-east of the city.
  • Stable population, foreign residents at 12.3%.
  • Farm courtyards: check roofs, walls and damp.

Isola Rizza is a municipality in the province of Verona, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 3,264 residents, ranked 63 of 98 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Isola Rizza is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 43 of 98 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.112 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Radon and contaminated sites

Isola Rizza is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Isola Rizza, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

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