Nogarole Vicentino, on the ridge between the Chiampo and Agno valleys

High on the hills dividing the Chiampo valley from the Agno valley, in the western part of the province of Vicenza, lies Nogarole Vicentino. Below lie the industrial towns of the two valleys, Arzignano, Chiampo and Valdagno, with their firms, where some residents work. The territory is made of meadows, woods and scattered hamlets.

It is a young and growing municipality. In 2023 there were 1,231 residents, 95 more than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office (a rise of 8.4%). The average age of 42.9 is lower than 45.9 for the province, and over-65s make up 18.5% against 23.4%. Households have 2.56 members on average. Foreign nationals account for 1.8%, and average declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Homes are mostly detached or semi-detached houses with gardens, many built in recent decades, alongside the old farm buildings of the hamlets. Roads are steep and winter frost is possible, so consider access, orientation and heating costs.

The western Vicenza area is more seismic than many expect. Nogarole Vicentino is in zone 2, like 78 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.162 g. For a recent house, ask for the structural documentation; for a renovated farm building, ask what work was done on walls and floors.

Using the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, the report reaches the land parcel from the address and checks slope, landslides and flooding on the official maps.
