Mozzecane, the growing Verona plain on the road to Mantua

Few towns in the Verona area have grown like Mozzecane. It lies on the plain south-west of Verona, close to Villafranca and the border with the province of Mantua, along the roads linking the two cities. All around are maize fields, orchards, livestock farms and industrial areas; Verona airport and the motorway junctions are a quarter of an hour's drive away.

In recent years many young families have moved here, drawn by new houses at lower prices than in Verona and its suburbs. The town is mainly detached and terraced houses and small, recent blocks of flats, with a compact centre around the church and the historic villas. Buyers of a new home usually get a good energy rating; anyone choosing an old farmhouse in the countryside should expect major work and longer distances to services.

The figures confirm the growth: 8,145 residents in 2023, up 16.3% on 2011, which means 1,140 more people. The population is among the youngest in the province, with an estimated average age of 41.6 against 45.6 and over-65s at only 16.9%. Households average 2.51 people and foreign residents make up 13.8%. Average incomes are slightly below the provincial level.

In the province of Verona, 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2, mostly towards Lake Garda and the Lessinia hills, and 43 in zone 3 of the national classification. Mozzecane is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.136 g. Recently built houses follow current earthquake-resistant design rules; for older ones, it is worth asking.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report traces the plot. The farmland is crossed by ditches and irrigation channels: on lower ground, water can collect after heavy rain, and the report checks flood hazard for the address.

Key points

  • Plain between Verona and Mantua, near Villafranca and the airport.
  • Population up 16.3% since 2011; over-65s 16.9%.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration about 0.136 g.
  • Many recent homes; old farmhouses mean work and longer journeys.

Overview

Mozzecane is a municipality in the province of Verona, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 8,145 residents, ranked 31 of 98 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mozzecane is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 43 of 98 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.136 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.

The estimated average age is 42 years, lower than the province average (46). 17% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 13.8% of the population.
