Santa Giustina in Colle, flat land in the Camposampiero area
Despite the name, which means "on the hill", there are no hills in Santa Giustina in Colle: the municipality lies on open plain in the upper Padua area, near Camposampiero. The land is fields, rows of trees, warehouses and small villages, with the main village and its hamlets linked by provincial roads. Both Padua and Castelfranco Veneto are a short drive away.
It is a family place. The average household size, 2.62, is high for the Veneto, and the population is younger than the province: an average age of 45.2 against 46.5, and over-65s at 22.7% against 24.2%. At the end of 2023 there were 7,131 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, virtually the same as in 2011. Foreign residents make up 8.5%.
House hunters here mostly find detached homes with gardens, semi-detached houses and terraces, often built by the families themselves from the 1970s onwards. The local economy is small and medium-sized firms, spread through the village and the business parks. There are few services recorded, 30 in all: bars and restaurants, sports facilities and shops are much sparser than the provincial average, and for many things people go to Camposampiero or other nearby towns. Declared incomes are slightly below the Padua average.
The seismic zone is 3 on the Civil Protection scale, as for 89 of the 101 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.133 g. For houses built before the recent anti-seismic rules, ask for the structural documents and check any extensions.
The plain is crossed by spring-fed streams, ditches and canals. Flood hazard varies from street to street, and the report checks the official maps for the address, along with the plot taken from the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps.
Key points
- Upper Padua plain, despite the name.
