Oppeano, the low plain between Verona and Bovolone

Oppeano is a municipality on the low plain south-east of Verona, in the farmland that stretches towards Bovolone. Besides the main village it has hamlets with a life of their own, such as Vallese and Ca' degli Oppi, separated by fields, canals and provincial roads.

The population here has changed a great deal in a short time. Since 2011 the population has grown by 9.9%, or 937 more people, to 10,364, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 42.7, against 45.6 for the province, and 18.3% are over 65 against 23.2%. Households average 2.45 people. Foreign residents make up 14.9%, a high share, while declared incomes are below the provincial average.

People who move here usually want more space and a bit of garden, and accept using the car for everything. Work is partly on farms and in the industrial zones of the plain, partly in Verona. The hamlets have basic services; the municipality lists 7 schools and education sites and 5 supermarkets, and the report gives the distance from the house to each one.

This is reclaimed land, with ditches and canals everywhere and the river Adige not far away. The ground is flat, in places low-lying, and the water table is close to the surface, so the report checks the official flood hazard maps for the address, and for a house with a basement you should ask about any seepage.

In the province of Verona 55 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 and 43 in zone 3. Oppeano is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.124 g. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.124 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.

Radon and contaminated sites

Oppeano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 3 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Oppeano, and 3 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Oppeano: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
