Povegliano Veronese, on the plain between Verona and Villafranca
Povegliano Veronese is a town on the plain south-west of Verona, bordering Villafranca and not far from Verona's Valerio Catullo airport. It began as a farming village and has become a place to live for families working in Verona or in the industrial areas of the lower Verona plain. Its historic landmark is Villa Balladoro and its park, around which the centre grew.
Buyers here mostly find detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats built in recent decades, alongside a few converted farm courtyards. Verona is about twenty minutes by car, and the roads to Lake Garda and to Mantua pass nearby. If a house lies under the flight paths, listen to the noise at different times of day before deciding.
In 2023 Istat, the national statistics institute, counted 7,404 residents, up 4.8% since 2011. The town is slightly younger than the province: estimated average age 44.6 against 45.6, over-65s at 21.7% against 23.2%. Foreign residents make up 9.0% and households average 2.47 people. Average incomes are a little below the provincial figure.
The Verona area is more earthquake-prone than many people expect, and most municipalities in the province are in zone 2. Povegliano is in zone 3 in the Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile) classification, like 42 others, but its expected ground acceleration in the built-up area, about 0.143 g, is close to the top of its class. For a house built before 2000, ask for the structural drawings and whether any strengthening has been done.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report traces the address back to the plot. On a plain crossed by ditches and irrigation canals, flood hazard is checked for the individual address.
