Lendinara, on both banks of the Adigetto in the Polesine

The Adigetto, a canal running between the Adige and the Po, flows through Lendinara and splits its old centre into two banks lined with palazzi, churches and a long waterfront. This is the upper Polesine, west of Rovigo: low, even farmland shaped by fields and reclamation channels. By population Lendinara is number 5 in the province.

The main link for residents is with Rovigo. The railway towards Legnago and Verona stops in the town, and the provincial capital is a short drive away. Homes on the market range from palazzi in the centre to houses in the newer districts and farmhouses out in the countryside. Food shopping is well covered, with 10 supermarkets, more per head than the provincial average.

There were 11,470 residents in 2023, down 4.6% since 2011. That matches much of the Polesine, one of the oldest provinces in the Veneto: in Lendinara over-65s make up 27.8%, close to the provincial 28.1%, and the estimated average age is 48.2. Foreign residents account for 11.6%. Declared incomes are in line with the province.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Rovigo are in seismic zone 3, and expected ground acceleration in Lendinara is about 0.071 g, a low value. The ground, though, is made of soft, waterlogged river sediment, so in older buildings look for cracks, foundation settlement and rising damp in the walls.

Water is the real issue here. The Polesine lies between two large rivers and in many places sits barely above sea level, kept dry by embankments and pumping stations. The report checks flood hazard for the address, as well as the plot on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lendinara is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 50 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.071 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.
