Musile di Piave, reclaimed land facing San Donà

Cross the bridge over the Piave and you pass from San Donà to Musile: the two towns face each other across the river, and for many things, from the railway station to the larger shops, Musile residents rely on San Donà. In the First World War the front line ran along this very stretch of the river, and most of the houses standing today were built afterwards.

The land is a low plain a few metres above sea level, won from the marshes by land reclamation and kept dry by canals and pumping stations. It stretches from the Piave towards the Venetian lagoon, with open fields, a few hamlets and scattered houses. Many residents commute: to San Donà, to Mestre and Venice and, in summer, to the beaches of Jesolo.

Istat, the national statistics office, counted 11,419 residents in 2023, almost as many as in 2011 (down 0.9%). Compared with the province of Venice, one of the oldest in the Veneto, Musile is younger: over-65s at 22.9% against 26.0%, estimated average age 46.0 against 47.6. Foreign residents make up 11.9%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, and services per head, from supermarkets to pharmacies, are thinner on the ground: many are across the bridge.

All 44 municipalities in the province are in seismic zone 3; in Musile expected ground acceleration is about 0.090 g. On soft reclaimed ground with water close to the surface, foundations and damp in the walls deserve more attention than the seismic class.

Water is the main issue. Between the Piave embankments and the lowest fields, kept dry by pumps, flood hazard changes a lot from one area to another. The report checks it for the address and finds the plot on the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Musile di Piave is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.090 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 46 years, lower than the province average (48). 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 11.9% of the population.
