Mariana Mantovana, a small growing village on the plain

Mariana Mantovana is a small municipality on the plain around Mantua that has gained residents since 2011. It lies at about 35 metres, among fields, livestock farms and farmsteads, with the village core and other houses scattered across the countryside.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 823 residents in 2023, 94 more than the 729 of 2011, growth of 12.9%. The estimated average age is 42.0, lower than the provincial 46.4, and over-65s make up 19.3% against 24.4% across the province. Households are large by today's standards, 2.73 people on average, and foreign residents account for 17.1%.

For buyers, this means a market made up mainly of detached houses and small villas, with the odd farmstead to restore, where you need a car and a little patience for work and services, which are in the larger towns of the area. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes are not absent even on the plain. Mariana Mantovana is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 59 of the 64 municipalities in the province of Mantua, while 5 are in zone 2; expected ground acceleration is about 0.095 g. With a farmstead or an older building, ask how the roof and floors are built and whether any structural work has been done.

On the plain, the geography to watch is water: canals, ditches and streams can matter for an individual plot, and the report checks the official flood maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report finds the land parcel from the address.
