San Vito di Leguzzano, between Schio and Malo
In the upper Vicenza area, where the plain meets the first hills, San Vito di Leguzzano lies between Schio and Malo, in a district that built its economy on textiles, engineering and small firms. It is a compact village, with a centre gathered around the church and residential streets that grew up beside the business areas. To reach Vicenza, Thiene or the A31 Valdastico motorway, with its Thiene-Schio junction, you drive.
House hunters will mostly find terraced houses, semi-detached and detached homes with gardens, built from the 1960s to the present day. Services in the village are limited: 3 school sites, 1 pharmacy, 2 supermarkets and 8 bars and restaurants, fewer per resident than the provincial average. For hospital care, secondary schools and bigger shops, Schio is the reference.
According to Istat, the national statistics office, there were 3,542 residents in 2023, 1.2% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 46.4, against 45.9 in the province of Vicenza, and over-65s make up 23.4%, exactly the provincial figure. Foreign residents account for 5.1%. Average declared incomes are above the provincial average.
The foothill belt around Vicenza is more earthquake-prone than the plain. San Vito is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department scale (the national emergency agency), like 78 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.163 g. For houses built before recent seismic standards, ask for the structural design and have the floors and wall ties checked.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps and the report reaches the plot. Streams and irrigation channels run between the hills and the plain: for lower-lying houses check the flood maps for the address, for those on the first slopes the landslide maps.
