Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, the Lessinia plateau and the Ponte di Veja
The Ponte di Veja, a huge natural rock arch, is the best-known sight in Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo and one of the symbols of the Lessinia, the plateau north of Verona. The municipality lies at almost a thousand metres, above the Valpolicella wine valleys, with meadows, woods and scattered hamlets inside the Lessinia regional nature park. The village also has a museum of palaeontology and prehistory, built around fossils and finds from the area.
Verona is about three quarters of an hour away, down through the Valpolicella hills, and many residents work on the plain. Buyers here are after cool summers, space and quiet: detached stone houses, often with the stone-slab roofs typical of the Lessinia, newer villas and homes in the hamlets. Climate zone F means long, cold winters with snow, so heating and insulation weigh on running costs.
The population is holding up: Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,602 residents in 2023, up 1.5% on 2011. The average age is 45.0, close to the 45.6 of the province of Verona, and 21.8% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 8.6%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.
Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo is in seismic zone 2, with an expected acceleration of 0.165 g. In stone houses, especially extended ones, have the walls, floors and their ties to the roof checked.
Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published. The limestone Lessinia plateau is cut by small valleys and slopes that change from one hamlet to the next, and the report reads gradient and official maps for the address.
