Pettorazza Grimani, Polesine farmland along the Adige

Pettorazza Grimani is a municipality in the Polesine, the low plain between the Adige and the Po, stretched out along the river Adige. The land is almost at sea level, made up of fields, drainage canals and embankments. The village grew up near the river, and the countryside around it is dotted with scattered houses and farm courtyards. For work and services people look to Rovigo, Adria and, across the river, the Venice area.

In such low-lying land, water matters more than anything else. The fields are kept dry by the network of drainage consortia and the Adige runs between high embankments. The report checks the official flood maps for the exact address, and these can vary a lot even between neighbouring houses. Ask the seller about the cellar, the ground floor and any past water ingress.

There were 1,430 residents in 2023, down 14.3% on the 1,669 of 2011. The average age is 50.9, against 49.0 in the province of Rovigo, with over-65s at 31.6% compared with 28.1%. Foreign nationals make up 3.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Rovigo are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, and expected ground acceleration here is 0.059 g. On soft river soils, foundations and any cracks in the walls are worth having a surveyor look at.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps cover the municipality, and the report finds the land parcel from the address, along with distances to schools, the pharmacy and shops.
