Taglio di Po, the Delta below sea level

In Taglio di Po the town hall stands at roughly sea level, and much of the surrounding farmland lies lower still. The municipality is in the Po Delta, in the eastern part of the province of Rovigo, between Porto Viro, Ariano nel Polesine and Porto Tolle: land reclaimed from the water, kept dry by canals and pumping stations and protected by the river embankments.

The town stretches along the Po, with two or three-storey houses, villas and a few small blocks, surrounded by flat countryside of arable fields and rice paddies, with fishing lagoons and the Po Delta regional park towards the sea. Adria is about twenty minutes away, Rovigo about an hour. House prices are among the lowest in the Veneto, but buyers need to look closely at foundations, because the ground in the Delta sank considerably during the last century and some buildings show cracks and settlement.

The population is shrinking and ageing: 7,874 residents in 2023, down 7.3% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, with an estimated average age of 49.5 against 49.0 for the province. Over-65s make up 28.5%, foreign residents 5.3%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The earthquake picture is calm: all 50 municipalities in the province of Rovigo are in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, and the expected acceleration is about 0.059 g. On the soft, waterlogged soils of the Delta, however, even a distant tremor can be felt, and what matters most is the quality of the foundations and the state of the walls. Climate zone E brings damp, foggy winters.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, and the report traces the plot from the address. With the river flowing above the level of the surrounding land and fields below sea level, flood risk is the most important thing to read for the individual house.

Key points

  • In the Po Delta, with farmland below sea level.
  • Population down 7.3% since 2011; average age 49.5.
  • Seismic zone 3 across the whole province of Rovigo.
  • Sinking ground: check foundations and flood risk first.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Taglio di Po is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 50 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.059 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

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

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 7.3%. The estimated average age is 49 years, in line with the province. 29% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 5.3% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Taglio di Po is in climate zone E, with 2,276 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 0 metres above sea level.

There are 0.3 healthcare facilities per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.6).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 6.8% of the land in Taglio di Po, compared with 8.4% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Taglio di Po is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Taglio di Po, and one more has been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Taglio di Po: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Taglio di Po are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 51 inhabited census areas in Taglio di Po. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
