Roncà, the Val d'Alpone among Lessini vineyards

Roncà covers a stretch of the Val d'Alpone on the eastern edge of the province of Verona, where the Lessini hills run down to the plain and the border with the province of Vicenza is close. The slopes are mostly under vines: this is Durello country, the sparkling wine of the Lessini, and the white wines of the Soave area are not far away. Geologists also know the area for the fossils found in the valley's volcanic and marine rocks.

The population is younger than average. In 2023 there were 3,765 residents, up 1.0% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, with an average age of 43.9 against 45.6 in the province and over-65s at 21.1%. Foreign residents make up 8.5%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial level. For work people look to firms in the valley, to San Bonifacio and further afield to Verona and Vicenza.

House hunters will find a valley floor with newer homes along the main road and scattered hamlets in the hills, with farmhouses that sometimes need renovating. In the hills, winter access, aspect and the state of retaining walls are what matter.

Earthquakes need to be taken seriously here. Roncà is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 54 other municipalities in the province of Verona, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.153 g. For a masonry house, or one built before the 1980s, a structural check by an engineer is a sensible step.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps. The Alpone stream runs along the valley floor and the slopes are steep in places, so the report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the address.
