Sandrigo, home of bacalà north of Vicenza

Across the Veneto, Sandrigo means bacalà alla vicentina, the local dish of slow-cooked dried cod. The brotherhood that guards the recipe is based here, and every year the bacalà festival brings thousands of people to town. Sandrigo lies on the plain north of Vicenza, about fifteen kilometres from the city, between Vicenza and the foothill towns of Thiene and Bassano.

Daily life revolves around Vicenza and the businesses of the plain. There is no station in the municipality, so people drive, on provincial roads to the city or to the Pedemontana expressway. The centre has the basic services, surrounded by estates of detached and terraced houses and countryside crossed by irrigation channels.

In 2023 Sandrigo had 8,295 residents, 1.2% fewer than in 2011. The estimated average age (45.6) and share of over-65s (22.9%) are close to the provincial figures. Foreign residents account for 7.6%. Average incomes are slightly above the average for the province of Vicenza.

For earthquakes the Vicenza area is split in two: 79 municipalities, Sandrigo included, are in zone 2, the other 33 in zone 3. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.164 g. If you are buying a house from the 1960s or 1970s, ask about the structural design and consider seismic strengthening alongside any energy-efficiency work.

Water is the other issue. The plain north of Vicenza is rich in water, with a water table often close to the surface and low spots where storms leave their mark. The report finds the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps and checks the official flood maps for the address.

For anyone buying in Sandrigo, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.
