Rosà, irrigated plain south of Bassano del Grappa

Just south of Bassano del Grappa, east of the river Brenta, the plain is crossed by irrigation channels, the rogge, that have carried river water to the fields for centuries. Rosà grew up here, with a small centre around the church, hamlets such as Cusinati, Travettore and Sant'Anna, and a landscape where houses, industrial units and fields alternate without any clear boundary.

It is a family town. Households average 2.57 people, more than is usual in the Veneto, the estimated average age is 44.2 against 45.9 in the province of Vicenza, and over-65s make up 20.8%. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 14,631 residents in 2023, up 4.0% on 2011. Foreign residents account for 8.2% and declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Buyers will mostly find detached and semi-detached houses and small modern blocks of flats, often with gardens. Work is close by, in the firms between Bassano, Cittadella and Castelfranco, and the Pedemontana Veneta expressway runs nearby. For the hospital, secondary schools and many services, Bassano remains the reference point. There are 0.89 schools per 1,000 residents, against 0.82 in the province.

The Bassano area is one of the parts of the Veneto with the highest seismic hazard. Rosà is in zone 2, like 79 municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.178 g. For houses built before the earthquake codes of 2003 and 2008, get a structural opinion from a surveyor and ask about any work done with the sismabonus tax incentive.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report identifies the land parcel from the address. The ground is flat and gravelly; the official maps show whether the street lies in an area that can flood when the Brenta or the channels run high.

Key points

For anyone buying in Rosà, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

How built-up it is

Radon and contaminated sites

Rosà is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. According to the ISPRA map, the estimated radon emission in the municipality is medium. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 2 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Rosà, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Rosà: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
