Quinto Vicentino, Villa Thiene and the Tesina outside Vicenza
Quinto Vicentino's town hall is housed in Villa Thiene, one of the villas Andrea Palladio worked on and part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Vicenza and the Palladian villas. The town lies on the plain north-east of Vicenza, along the river Tesina, and includes the hamlets of Lanzè and Valproto. Around it are fields, a few small industrial areas and the roads to Vicenza and the neighbouring towns.
For buyers, Quinto is part of Vicenza's inner commuter belt: the city is a few minutes away by car, and many residents work there or in the industrial areas around it. Homes are mainly detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks of flats, with a few old farm courtyards. The land is flat and low, under 40 metres, the climate zone is E and declared incomes are in line with the province.
The population is growing, if slowly: 5,811 residents in 2023, 2.1% more than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. It is a town of families, with 2.45 members per household on average, an average age of 45.0 (provincially 45.9) and over-65s at 21.2%, below the 23.4% of the province.
In the province of Vicenza, 79 municipalities are in seismic zone 2 and 33 in zone 3 on the Protezione Civile scale (Italy's Civil Protection Department). Quinto is in zone 2, with expected acceleration of about 0.148 g. Even on the plain, for a house built before the 1980s it is worth asking for the structural drawings and any strengthening work.
Water is the issue to look at most carefully. The Tesina and a network of ditches and drains cross the municipality, and flood hazard changes from one street to the next. The report checks it at the address, starting from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps. For a ground-floor flat or a basement room, it is the first section to read.
