Tezze sul Brenta, a riverside town below Bassano
The name gives it away: Tezze sits on the bank of the Brenta, on the plain south of Bassano del Grappa, halfway to Cittadella. The municipality is a string of villages spread among fields, small workshops and detached houses, with Monte Grappa closing the view to the north. Jobs are in the many local firms and in Bassano, which is also the natural place for big shopping trips, hospitals and secondary schools.
Most homes for sale are detached or semi-detached houses, often with a garden, plus a few recent blocks of flats near the village centres. Public transport is thin and you will need a car for almost everything. Distances to schools, pharmacies and shops vary a lot between villages, which is why the report measures them from the exact location of the house.
The population is growing slowly: 13,012 residents in 2023, up 3.3% since 2011. It is younger than the Vicenza average, with a mean age of 42.9 against 45.9 and 18.6% over 65. Foreign residents make up 7.7%, and households have 2.53 people on average.
The foothills of the Veneto are among the most earthquake-prone parts of northern Italy. Tezze is in seismic zone 2, like 78 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.171 g. For a house from the 1970s or 1980s it is worth having an engineer assess the structure, especially if you plan to add a storey or open new windows in load-bearing walls.
The Brenta flows in a wide gravel bed and the areas near its embankments have a history of floods. The report checks the official flood maps for the individual address, along with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for this municipality.
