Mezzane di Sotto, vineyards and hills east of Verona

The Val di Mezzane is one of the valleys that run down from the Lessini mountains to the plain east of Verona, between the Valpantena and the Val d'Illasi. Mezzane di Sotto covers its lower and middle stretch: a valley floor with the village and main roads, and hills planted with vines, olives and cherry trees. Verona is about twenty minutes by car, and many residents work in the city or in the eastern part of the province.

The housing market is made up of detached homes, restored farm courtyards and scattered houses in the hills, often with land. On the slopes, expect narrow roads and a few shady stretches in winter; on the valley floor getting around is easier. Declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,554 residents in 2023, up 3.7% since 2011. The average age is 46.8, close to the provincial 45.6, with 26.1% over 65 and a low share of foreign residents, 3.4%.

The eastern Lessini have seismic activity that should not be underestimated: Mezzane di Sotto is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.160 g. With a farm courtyard or a stone house, find out whether walls and floors have been strengthened; with a newer house, the design date tells you a lot about the rules applied.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published. On the slopes and along the stream that runs down the valley, the report checks the official landslide and flood maps for each address.
