Sanguinetto, a castle town on the Verona plain

Sanguinetto's 14th-century castle, with its walls and moat, now houses the town hall. Around it spreads the plain of the southern Verona lowlands, between Cerea and Nogara, flat and farmed, with reclamation channels, farm courtyards and industrial units along the main roads.

The town has a compact centre around the castle and streets of detached and terraced houses. Verona and Mantua are less than an hour away by car, with Legnago closer. Average declared incomes are below the average for the province of Verona.

In 2023 there were 4,181 residents, up a slight 1.0% on 2011. The average age of 45.5 matches the province (45.6), and over-65s make up 23.7%. Foreign residents account for 15.3%. Households have 2.46 members on average.

On the low plain, water is the main hazard. Channels and ditches keep the fields dry, but some areas can flood in heavy rain: the report checks the official maps for the address. As for earthquakes, the province has 55 municipalities in seismic zone 2 and 43 in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, including Sanguinetto, where the expected ground acceleration is about 0.087 g. On alluvial ground, still look for cracks and signs of subsidence in the walls of an older house.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, and the report traces the plot from the address.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
