Noventa Vicentina, the hub of the plain below the Berici Hills
In the Bassa Vicentina, the plain that stretches south of the Berici Hills towards the province of Padua, Noventa Vicentina is the town people head to for schools, the doctor, banks and the big weekly shop. The land is flat, about fifteen metres above sea level, made up of fields, ditches and canals, with the Berici Hills visible to the north. Vicenza and Padua are the reference cities, both less than an hour away by car.
Its role as a service centre shows in Overture's data: 10 schools, 10 healthcare facilities and 8 supermarkets, all above the provincial average per resident. For buyers, that means having the essentials close by without living in a city. Homes range from buildings in the centre, some of them historic, to detached and semi-detached houses in newer districts, priced below the area around Vicenza.
There were 9,105 residents at the end of 2023, up 3.3% on 2011. The estimated average age of 46.0 matches the province, and over-65s make up 23.4%. Foreign residents account for 9.6%. Declared incomes are below the Vicenza average.
Earthquake hazard is moderate: Noventa is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.083 g, while 79 municipalities in the province, mostly in the foothills to the north, are in zone 2. In plain houses from the 1960s and 1970s, the roof, insulation and heating matter more.
On a low, reclaimed plain crossed by a dense network of drainage ditches, the most useful check is flooding. The report does it at the address, because a few hundred metres can change the picture, and with the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps it traces the plot.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Noventa Vicentina is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 33 of 112 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.083 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.
