San Giorgio in Bosco, northern Padua between Cittadella and Padua
San Giorgio in Bosco is a lowland municipality in the Alta Padovana, the northern part of the province of Padua, between Cittadella and Padua itself. It is a landscape of fields, workshops and villages almost running into one another, where the economy is built on small and medium-sized firms. Besides the main village there are a few hamlets, among them Paviola and Lobia, each with its own church and basic services.
You get around by car here: Padua is about half an hour away, Cittadella and Camposampiero are close, Vicenza and Bassano not far. Homes for sale are mostly detached houses, terraces and family houses with gardens, often built or extended by the families themselves over the years. The river Brenta runs a short way to the west, and for homes in the low ground towards it the report checks the flood maps.
The population is young and growing: 6,412 residents at the end of 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, 2.7% more than in 2011, with an average age of 44.0 against 46.5 for the province. Households are large by today's standards, averaging 2.64 people, and foreign residents account for 9.3%. Declared incomes are slightly below the Padua average.
One fact surprises outsiders: San Giorgio in Bosco is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like only 12 municipalities in the province of Padua, while the other 89 are in zone 3. Expected ground acceleration is about 0.144 g. In a house from the 1970s or 1980s, ask for the structural design and whether it has been upgraded.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report identifies the land parcel from the address.
