Nervesa della Battaglia, between the Montello and the Piave
The name recalls the battle fought here on the Piave in June 1918, and on the side of the Montello hill a large war memorial holds the remains of thousands of First World War soldiers. Nervesa lies right where the Montello drops down to the river, about twenty kilometres north of Treviso; across the Piave begin the Prosecco hills of Conegliano.
The municipality is split between hill and plain. The Montello is crossed by a series of parallel roads, known as prese, running through woods, vineyards and scattered houses; lower down are the town, the small business areas and the fields. Treviso, Montebelluna and Conegliano are where people go to work, by car. Homes are mostly detached with gardens, and on the Montello there are plenty of farm buildings and country houses. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Treviso.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,570 residents in 2023, down 4.1% on 2011. The population is a little older than the rest of the province: the average age is 47.4 against 46.0, and over-65s make up 25.9% against 23.8%. Foreign residents are 9.1%. There are 40 cafés and restaurants, more per head than the provincial average.
The belt at the foot of the Treviso Prealps is the most earthquake-prone part of the province. Nervesa is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, like 72 of the 94 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.219 g in the built-up area, a high value. For farm buildings and houses built before the current rules, ask to see what structural work has been done and have a surveyor look at the building before you sign.
The Montello is a karst hill, full of sinkholes and hollows, and in places the ground can give way; on the slopes the gradient matters too. Along the Piave, the issue is flooding. The report checks both at the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report traces each address to its land parcel.
