San Mauro di Saline, on the uplands of eastern Lessinia
The Lessinia is Verona's mountain country: uplands of meadow and woodland, clusters of stone houses called contrade, and roads climbing from the valleys of the Verona plain. San Mauro di Saline lies in its eastern part, at around eight hundred metres, with the village and its contrade spread over the rises.
Residents have increased in recent years. For people working on the plain the village remains a realistic option: the valleys leading down towards Verona and the east of the province are within driving distance, while secondary schools, the hospital and larger shops are lower down. Winters are cold (climate zone F, the coldest band), and mountain roads in snow need to be factored in.
Istat, the national statistics office, counted 596 residents in 2023, 7.8% more than the 553 of 2011. In terms of age the population is in line with the rest of the province: an average age of 46.5 against 45.6, and over-65s at 22.3% against 23.2%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
The municipality is in seismic zone 2, like 54 other municipalities in the province of Verona, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is around 0.164 g. For a stone house in a contrada, find out how the structure is built, whether the roof has been redone and whether any strengthening has been carried out.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the address to its land parcel. On the slopes running down to the valleys, gradient and the official landslide maps are read for each individual house.
