Mussolente, at the foot of Monte Grappa near Bassano

Mussolente is a municipality in the province of Vicenza on the border with the province of Treviso, a few kilometres from Bassano del Grappa in the Veneto region. Its land rises from the plain, where the village of Casoni lies, to the first slopes of the Monte Grappa massif, with farmed hills, woods and scattered houses. This is small and medium business country, typical of the Veneto foothills, where home and workshop often sit close together.

For a buyer, the split is between plain and hill. Down below there are villas, semi-detached houses and recent developments, handy for services and for the roads to Bassano, Castelfranco and Treviso; higher up, more isolated houses with views over the plain and uphill access. Almost every journey is by car, and fuller services, from the hospital to secondary schools, are in Bassano. The area is in climate zone E, with cold winters and muggy summers on the plain.

At the end of 2023 there were 7,544 residents, down 1.4% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. It is a young town for the Veneto: an average age of 44.6 against 45.9 in the province, over-65s at 20.8% against 23.4%, and households of 2.50 people on average. Foreign residents are 6.2%, and declared incomes are slightly above the Vicenza average.

The strip at the foot of Monte Grappa is among the areas with the highest earthquake hazard in the Veneto. Mussolente is in zone 2 on the scale of the Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile), like 78 other municipalities in the province of Vicenza, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.189 g. If you are buying a house from the 1970s or 1980s, or a restored farmhouse, ask whether structural surveys or strengthening have been carried out.

Streams coming down from Monte Grappa rise fast after heavy rain. The report checks flood and landslide hazard for the address and finds the plot using the cadastral maps of the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate), published for Mussolente.
