Lonigo, at the foot of the Berici Hills towards Verona
On the hill above Lonigo stands the Rocca Pisana, a villa by Vincenzo Scamozzi, and in the hamlet of Bagnolo is Andrea Palladio's Villa Pisani. The town lies in the southern part of the province of Vicenza, on the south-western edge of the Berici Hills, looking across the plain towards the province of Verona, with a compact old centre and residential districts spread over the flat land.
For daily commuters, Lonigo has a station on the railway between Verona and Vicenza, and the Montebello junction on the A4 motorway is a few kilometres away. Homes range from town-centre houses and detached houses on the plain to farm buildings and villas on the lower slopes of the hills.
Buyers should know about one environmental issue. Lonigo lies within the part of the Veneto affected by PFAS contamination of groundwater, which spans the provinces of Vicenza, Verona and Padua. Test results for mains water are public; anyone using, or planning to use, a private well for the house or a vegetable garden should ask the town council and the local health authority.
At the end of 2023 Lonigo had 15,976 residents, up 2.5% since 2011 (Istat, the national statistics office). It is younger than the provincial average, with an estimated average age of 44.2 against 45.9, and has a high share of foreign residents, 15.0%. By population it ranks number 8 in the province of Vicenza.
The province of Vicenza has both zone 2 and zone 3 municipalities; Lonigo is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.125 g. On the Berici slopes, landslides and gradient matter; on the plain, flooding from watercourses. The report checks them for the exact address along with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.
