Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco, flat Saccisica country near Padua
The Saccisica is the low plain south-east of Padua, between the city and the Venetian lagoon, and Sant'Angelo di Piove di Sacco covers the part closest to Padua, next to the town of Piove di Sacco. The land is flat, a few metres above sea level, criss-crossed by drainage ditches from old land reclamation, with villages and hamlets strung along the roads between the fields.
Residents often work in Padua, in Piove or in the industrial areas along the Brenta, and get around by car. The market consists of detached and semi-detached houses, terraces and a few restored farmhouses, with gardens and space that would cost much more in the city.
The population is holding steady. At the end of 2023 there were 7,289 residents, 1.1% more than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 46.3, in line with the province of Padua, while over-65s make up 22.7%, below the provincial 24.2%. Foreign residents account for 7.1%, and households average 2.43 people, a high figure pointing to many families with children. Overture Maps data list 9 sports facilities.
For earthquakes the municipality is in zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 88 other municipalities in the province, with low expected ground acceleration of about 0.069 g. In such low-lying land the more practical issue is water: the drainage network works when it is maintained, and after heavy rain the lowest ground can flood.
The report checks the flood hazard maps at the exact location of the house and uses the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps to find the land parcel. It is also worth asking the seller whether the area has had water problems in recent years.
