Terrazzo, the low Verona plain along the Adige

Terrazzo sits in the Bassa veronese, the low plain the Adige crosses downstream of Legnago on its way towards the Polesine. It is a small farming municipality made up of the main village and the hamlet of Nichesola, with fields and scattered farmyards around them. Legnago is the local centre for jobs, secondary schools and the hospital; Verona is further away and best reached by car.

Services in the village are basic. Overture Maps data list 3 schools, 1 pharmacy and 2 bars and restaurants, so the weekly shop and evenings out mean driving elsewhere. Most homes are detached houses with a garden or old country houses, and declared incomes are well below the provincial average.

There were 2,178 residents in 2023, down 4.9% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age is 46.9, above 45.6 for the province, and 27.0% of residents are over 65 against 23.2% provincially. Foreign nationals make up 12.5%.

The village lies only a few metres above sea level, on reclaimed land crossed by embankments and drainage canals. Flood hazard has to be checked address by address on the official maps, and it is the first thing the report looks at. For earthquakes Terrazzo is in seismic zone 3, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.077 g; with an old country house it is still worth having the roof and walls inspected. Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Terrazzo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 43 of 98 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.077 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.

Public transport

Radon and contaminated sites

Terrazzo 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 no open contaminated sites in Terrazzo; one has been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Terrazzo: 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 Terrazzo 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 25 inhabited census areas in Terrazzo. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 62 or more.
