Motta di Livenza, a river town near Friuli
The river Livenza has shaped both the history and the layout of Motta. The town grew up on its banks at the eastern tip of the province of Treviso, close to the borders with Friuli and the metropolitan area of Venice. Beyond the local area it is known mainly for the sanctuary of the Madonna dei Miracoli, a pilgrimage church, and for its hospital, which also serves neighbouring towns.
For buyers, Motta offers a centre of palazzi and terraced houses along the main streets and the river, residential districts of villas and blocks of flats, and flat countryside with scattered houses. The station on the Treviso-Portogruaro line links the town with Treviso and Portogruaro, and motorway junctions in the area are a drive away. Oderzo, with its larger services, is a few minutes off.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 10,686 residents in 2023, practically the same as in 2011 (10,681). The estimated average age is 45.5, a little below the province (46.0), and over-65s make up 22.7%. The share of foreign residents, 14.7%, is high for the Treviso area, and households average 2.48 people. There are more supermarkets and healthcare facilities per resident than in the province as a whole.
Unlike the foothill belt, where almost every municipality is in zone 2, Motta is in seismic zone 3 along with 17 other lowland municipalities in the province. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.124 g. Soft plain soils near the river can amplify shaking, so for masonry houses in the centre ask about the state of the foundations.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report finds the plot from the address. With a river like the Livenza, embanked and prone to high water, flood hazard is the first check, and the report runs it for the exact address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
