San Zenone degli Ezzelini, foothill country below Monte Grappa
The name recalls the Ezzelini, the family that ruled this part of the Veneto in the Middle Ages, and a tower linked to their story still stands on the hill above the village. San Zenone lies in the foothills of Monte Grappa, between Bassano del Grappa and Asolo, with its hamlets scattered between the plain and the first hills.
This is a landscape of small firms, workshops and houses with gardens, where almost everyone drives to work in Bassano, Castelfranco or Montebelluna. Homes are mostly detached and semi-detached houses built in recent decades, alongside old farm buildings. The hills offer views and quiet, but also narrow lanes and sloping plots.
The population is young for the Veneto. At the end of 2023 there were 7,286 residents, down 1.4% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 43.3, against 46.0 in the province of Treviso, and over-65s make up only 19.5%. Foreign residents account for 11.6%, a high share for the area, and households average 2.64 people. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
The province of Treviso spans three seismic zones. San Zenone is in zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like 72 of its 94 municipalities, and expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.196 g, a medium-high value. Before buying an old house or farm building, have an engineer explain how the structure is built and what work it would need.
The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. On the slopes the report checks landslide hazard; on the plain it checks flooding along the streams coming down from the massif.
