Ronco all'Adige, fields and river banks south-east of Verona
Ronco all'Adige takes its name, and much of its history, from the river Adige, which runs between high embankments across the plain south-east of Verona. The main village and hamlets such as Tombazosana, Albaro and Scardevara are farming communities separated by fields and orchards, with houses strung along the roads that follow the river.
The village has schools and shops for day-to-day needs, but for a big supermarket, the hospital and most jobs people drive to San Bonifacio, Legnago or Verona. Homes on the market are mostly detached and semi-detached houses, old farm courtyards waiting for renovation and a few recent developments. There are few cafés and restaurants compared with the provincial average, a sign of the quiet, rural character of the place.
Living near the Adige means reading the flood maps carefully. The embankments protect the plain, but lower ground and old river beds leave some areas more exposed than others, even a short distance apart. The report checks this for each address, together with the distance from the river.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 6,029 residents in 2023, down 2.4% on 2011. Average age, 45.5, is practically the same as the province's 45.6; households are slightly larger than average at 2.53 people, and foreign nationals are 12.4%. Declared incomes are below the Verona average.
On earthquakes, Ronco is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department classification, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.125 g; in the province, 55 municipalities are in zone 2, mostly in the hills and mountains. In old brick and stone farm buildings, check the timber floors, the roof and the ties between walls. Cadastral maps from the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) are published.
