Pozzonovo, reclaimed plain south-east of Monselice

Pozzonovo is a village in the low plain of southern Padua province, south-east of Monselice, where the Euganean Hills stay in the background and the land turns flat, cut through by canals and drainage ditches from past land reclamation. It lies a few metres above sea level, in open farmland with scattered houses. For work, people look to Monselice, to Padua, about forty kilometres away, and to the industrial areas of the plain.

Buyers mostly find detached houses with gardens and land, villas and a few old farmhouses to restore. Values are those of a rural area, with plenty of large homes on offer. The report helps with two things a floor plan does not show: the real distance to schools and shops, and where the house sits in relation to the canal network.

In 2023 there were 3,408 residents, down 6.7% on 2011 (245 fewer people), according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 48.4, against 46.5 in the province, and over-65s make up 27.0%, above the provincial 24.2%. Foreign nationals are 5.1%. Declared incomes are below the Padua average.

The province of Padua has municipalities in seismic zones 2 and 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale: Pozzonovo is in zone 3, like 88 others, with a low expected ground acceleration of about 0.063 g. In older houses, the roof, the services and the insulation matter most.

The report looks up the official flood maps for the exact address. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency are available.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
