Veggiano, on the Bacchiglione between Padua and Vicenza

Veggiano lies west of Padua on the bank of the Bacchiglione, where the river marks the line between the provinces of Padua and Vicenza. It is a lowland municipality with a main village, a few hamlets and a countryside of fields and rows of trees, fifteen minutes from the city; the Grisignano junction on the A4 motorway is close by.

In recent decades the town has grown with developments of small detached and terraced houses, chosen by young couples working in Padua, in its industrial zone or along the road to Vicenza. The data show it: Veggiano is one of the youngest municipalities in the province, with an average age of 42.8 against 46.5 and 16.2% over 65, against 24.2%. Households average 2.51 people.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 4,795 residents in 2023, up 5.5% since 2011. Foreign residents make up 7.6%, and declared incomes are just below the provincial average. Services on record include 3 schools and 3 healthcare facilities.

The town is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection Department classification, like 88 other municipalities in the province, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.100 g. On the river-deposited soils of the Veneto plain, look for settlement cracks and ground-floor damp in older houses.

The thing to check before buying is the Bacchiglione. The river has embankments but has broken out in several places on the Padua plain in the past, so areas near the banks and on lower ground need a careful look. The report checks flood hazard at the address with the official maps and identifies the plot in the Revenue Agency cadastre.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Veggiano 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 0.100 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 grown by 5.5%. The estimated average age is 43 years, lower than the province average (47). 16% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 7.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 14.3% of the land in Veggiano, compared with 18.7% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Veggiano 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 Veggiano, and 2 more have 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 Veggiano: 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 Veggiano are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area
