Tarzo, the Revine lakes and the Prosecco hills

Tarzo is in seismic zone 1, the highest class in the national classification drawn up by the Civil Protection department, and one of only 4 municipalities in the province of Treviso in that class. That is the first thing to bear in mind when weighing up a purchase in these hills between Vittorio Veneto and the Soligo valley, at the foot of the Prealps. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.250 g.

The land is made up of hills planted with vines, inside the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore area, and to the north it drops down to the Revine lakes. The municipality is split into several hamlets, Corbanese among them, and the landscape is one of small clusters of houses, farm buildings and narrow lanes between the rows of vines. Vittorio Veneto and the A27 motorway junction are close, and Conegliano is a short drive.

In 2023 there were 4,160 residents, down 9.2% on 2011. The population is older than the Treviso average: an average age of 49.3 against 46.0, and over-65s at 29.3% against 23.8%. Foreign residents account for 5.8% and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

With seismic hazard at this level, before buying a stone farmhouse or a building from the 1960s or 1970s, have the structure assessed by a surveyor or engineer and ask what work has been done.

On the slopes and along the lake shores, the report checks landslide and flood hazard for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published, so the report can go from the address to the land parcel.

For anyone buying in Tarzo, 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.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Tarzo: 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 Tarzo 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 31 inhabited census areas in Tarzo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
