Maserà di Padova, Bertipaglia and the farmland south of Padua

Maserà di Padova starts where the southern suburbs of Padua end. A few minutes out of the city you are on a very low plain, less than ten metres above sea level, cut into fields by drainage ditches and reclamation channels. The village grew along the road that runs south towards Conselve and the lower Padua plain, and it includes the hamlet of Bertipaglia. Many residents work in Padua and come back here in the evening.

Most homes are detached or semi-detached houses and small blocks built from the 1970s onwards, plus a few old farm courtyards that have been converted. Buyers moving from a city flat get more space for the same money, but should expect to drive for almost everything. It is worth trying the journey into Padua at rush hour before deciding.

At the end of 2023 there were 9,242 residents, up 2.2% on 2011. The estimated average age is 45.7, lower than the provincial figure of 46.5, and over-65s make up 21.3% of residents against 24.2% across the province. Households average 2.35 people and foreign residents account for 7.7%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low. Italy's Civil Protection Department places Maserà in seismic zone 3, like 89 of the 101 municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.070 g. In a forty-year-old house, the roof, insulation and heating matter more, as they set the energy rating and the bills in the first years.

With ground this low and a dense network of channels, water is the thing to check. The report reads the official flood maps at the address and, using the cadastral maps published by the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), traces the plot the building stands on.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Maserà di Padova is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (89 of 101) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.070 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.
