Megliadino San Vitale, lowland Padua between Este and Montagnana

Between Este and Montagnana the Padua plain is flat, almost at sea level, and criss-crossed by drainage canals and ditches. Megliadino San Vitale lies here, in the Bassa Padovana, with a small centre, scattered farmsteads and countryside of arable fields and rows of trees.

House hunters will mostly find detached houses with gardens, farmhouses to restore and a few small blocks of flats. For work and services people rely on Este, Montagnana and the larger villages nearby, while Padua means a longer journey. Average incomes are clearly below the provincial level. In low, reclaimed land, water is the first thing to check: the official flood maps should be read for the exact address, and in older houses look for rising damp and check the foundations.

According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 1,796 residents in 2023, 181 fewer than in 2011, a fall of 9.2%. The average age is 48.5 against 46.5 in the province, and over-65s make up 27.2%. Foreign residents account for 7.6%.

Megliadino San Vitale is in seismic zone 3, like 88 other municipalities in the province of Padua, with an expected acceleration of 0.071 g. In country houses that have been extended several times, ask for the planning paperwork and have the cracks between old and new parts looked at.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report finds the land parcel from the address and works out the actual distance to schools, shops and pharmacies.
