Tribano, on the reclaimed plain south of Padua

Wide fields, drainage ditches and straight roads: Tribano is a town in the lowlands south of Padua, in the area around Conselve, on a plain a few metres above sea level that was made farmable by land reclamation. Padua is about half an hour's drive to the north, with Monselice and the Euganean Hills a little further west.

The town has a compact centre and many detached houses scattered along country roads, often with a patch of land around them. For buyers, distances matter, since secondary schools, the hospital and most jobs are outside the municipality, as does the condition of houses built in several stages. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 4,202 residents, down 5.2% on 2011. The average age of 46.8 is in line with the province of Padua (46.5); over-65s make up 23.6% and foreign residents 7.5%. Households have 2.39 members on average.

On such low ground, water is the first thing to check. The network of reclamation channels keeps the fields dry, but some areas can flood after heavy rain: the report checks the official maps for the exact address. It is also worth asking whether the house has had rising damp.

Earthquakes are a minor concern: the province has 12 municipalities in seismic zone 2 and 89 in zone 3, as classified by Italy's Civil Protection Department, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.063 g, a low value. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are published and the report finds the plot from the address.

Key points

  • Reclaimed plain around Conselve, about half an hour from Padua.
  • 4,202 residents, down 5.2% since 2011.
  • Low-lying land: check flooding and damp.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected ground acceleration about 0.063 g.

Overview

Tribano is a municipality in the province of Padova, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 4,202 residents, ranked 65 of 101 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Tribano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (89 of 101) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.063 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 5.2%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 7.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Tribano declared an average taxable income of 23,669 euros, below the provincial average (26,932 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Tribano is in climate zone E, with 2,466 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 6 metres above sea level.

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 12.3% of the land in Tribano, compared with 18.7% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 1.3 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Tribano 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 Tribano; one has been cleaned up or closed.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Tribano: 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 Tribano 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.
