Loria, Ramon and Bessica between Castelfranco and Bassano
Monte Grappa, on the northern horizon, is the landmark for anyone living in Loria. The municipality lies on the upper plain of the province of Treviso, on the border with the province of Vicenza, along the route between Castelfranco Veneto and Bassano del Grappa. It has no single centre: alongside the main village there are hamlets such as Ramon and Bessica, each with its own church and schools, separated by fields and business areas.
House hunters will mainly find detached homes with gardens built in recent decades, plus old farmhouses to restore. Work means Castelfranco, Bassano and local firms, and a car is essential. Average declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average. Winters are cold (climate zone E), so insulation and the heating system deserve careful assessment.
Loria is much younger than the provincial average. The average age is 42.5 against 46.0, and people over 65 make up 18.4% compared with 23.8%. At the end of 2023 there were 9,300 residents, up 2.2% on 2011, and foreign residents account for 10.2%.
The belt at the foot of Monte Grappa and the Pre-Alps is one of the most significant earthquake areas in the Veneto. Loria is in seismic zone 2 under the Civil Protection Department's classification, like 72 municipalities in the province of Treviso, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.187 g, fairly high for the plain. For a masonry farmhouse or an industrial building a few decades old, it is worth commissioning a structural survey before buying.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the whole municipality, so the report finds the land parcel from the address. It then checks the official flood maps along the watercourses of the plain and measures the distance to schools and shops, which varies a great deal from one hamlet to another.

Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Loria is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (72 of 94) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.187 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.
For anyone buying in Loria, 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.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Loria, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.
Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Loria: 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.
