Veronella, homes and farmland south of San Bonifacio

Veronella is growing. At the end of 2023 it had 5,144 residents, up 10.1% on 2011, with an average age of 42.0 against 45.6 for the province, and over-65s at 17.4% against 23.2%. Households average 2.55 people, and foreign residents make up 11.3%.

The municipality lies on the plain south-east of Verona, south of San Bonifacio and close to Cologna Veneta, in flat countryside of fields, orchards and drainage ditches. There are no hills, and the river Adige is not far away. It is a place of detached houses, terraced villas and old farm courtyards, with a small centre and few shops: for a big food shop, secondary schools and many services people go to the neighbouring towns.

The railway does not pass through the village: the handiest stations are on the Verona to Venice line further north, such as San Bonifacio. Anyone working in Verona or in the San Bonifacio industrial area nearly always drives, so try the journey at rush hour before deciding.

For earthquakes Veronella is in zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, like 43 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.116 g, while 55 municipalities, mostly in the hills and mountains to the north, are in zone 2. In a house from the 1960s or 1970s it is worth having the foundations and floors checked, while for newer buildings ask about the energy rating and the certificates for the systems.

On a plain crossed by ditches and canals, flood hazard depends on the exact location, and the report checks it for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report can trace the address to its plot.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
