San Giovanni Lupatoto, along the Adige just south of Verona
From Verona you reach San Giovanni Lupatoto in a few minutes. The municipality borders the city on the south-east and stretches along the right bank of the river Adige, with the villages of Raldon and Pozzo out in the countryside. It is one of the towns in Verona's inner ring, home to many families who work in the city.
For buyers, the main draw is being close to Verona with small-town prices and space. The area is heavily built up, though, with housing estates, light industry and busy through roads, so a quiet side street and a house facing a main road are very different propositions. Along the Adige there are green areas and paths for walking and cycling.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 25,307 residents at the end of 2023, up 4.8% since 2011. The average age of 45.5 is in line with the province, foreign nationals make up 11.1% and average incomes are close to the provincial level. Some services are thinner than average, since many are in Verona: 0.51 schools per 1,000 residents against 0.84, 0.43 supermarkets against 0.48.
The province of Verona is split between seismic zone 2, with 55 municipalities, and zone 3, with 43. San Giovanni Lupatoto is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.146 g. For a flat in an older block, ask for the design date, any surveys and the structural work carried out.
Near the Adige and the canals crossing the countryside, flood hazard needs checking house by house. The report does this for the address using official maps and, with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastre, finds the plot.
