Setteville, the new Piave municipality between Grappa and Cesen

Setteville has existed since 2024, when the municipalities of Quero Vas and Alano di Piave merged. The name is new, the villages are not: Quero, Vas, Alano, Fener and the other settlements sit where the river Piave squeezes between the Monte Grappa massif and Monte Cesen, at the southern tip of the province of Belluno in the Veneto. To the north lies the Feltre area; to the south, across the river, the Prosecco hills of Valdobbiadene begin.

For daily commuters the valley offers two routes: the road along the Piave and the railway between Belluno and Padua, with stations at Quero-Vas and Alano-Fener-Valdobbiadene. Feltre in one direction, Montebelluna and the Treviso area in the other are where people go for work and services. Homes are mostly detached or terraced houses in the villages, with farm buildings on the slopes. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

There were 5,825 residents in 2023, 7.0% fewer than the two former municipalities had in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. With 2.9% of the province's population, Setteville ranks number 8 of the 60 municipalities around Belluno. It is younger than this very elderly province: an average age of 46.2 against 48.6, and over-65s at 24.1% against 28.1%. Foreign residents make up 14.6%.

Earthquakes matter here. In the province of Belluno, 7 municipalities are in seismic zone 1, 27 in zone 2 and 26 in zone 3 on the Protezione Civile scale (Italy's Civil Protection Department). Setteville is in zone 2, with expected acceleration of about 0.218 g, among the highest in its class. For a stone house or a building from before the seismic rules, asking what structural work has been done comes first, even before the energy rating.

Between the river and the steep slopes of Grappa and Cesen, landslide and flood hazard vary a lot from one village to the next and are checked at the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report reaches the plot.

For anyone buying in Setteville, 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.
