Veniano, southern Como province towards Saronno

Veniano is a village in the south of Como province, in the band of plain and low hills between Como, Varese and Saronno. It is a heavily built-up area where towns sit close together and land take is high, though large woods and green spaces remain between one centre and the next. The altitude is about three hundred metres.

The village has grown mainly as a place to live for families working in the Como area, around Varese or towards Milan. Housing is largely detached and semi-detached houses and small blocks, with an old core of farm courtyards. Almost all travel is by car; the railway stations are in nearby towns, on the lines that run to Milan.

The growth shows: Istat, the national statistics office, counted 3,140 residents in 2023, up 8.8% since 2011. The average age of 44.4 is below the provincial 46.3 and over-65s make up 20.5%, a low figure for Lombardy. Foreign nationals account for 4.8%. Average incomes are in line with the Como average.

Earthquakes are not a worry: seismic zone 4, the lowest in the Civil Protection classification, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.040 g. For a house built between the 1970s and 1990s, check the energy rating, windows and boiler, as the climate zone is E. Along the streams and in the wooded valleys the report checks the official flood maps for the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Veniano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
