Vigasio, a growing village on the plain south of Verona

Since 2011 Vigasio has grown by 9.4%, reaching 10,322 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office. You can see the growth in the streets of detached houses and small blocks of flats built around the old village, on the plain south of Verona, between Villafranca and Isola della Scala, in countryside of arable fields, orchards and livestock farms.

Most of the newcomers are young families. The average age is 43.0, against 45.6 for the province, and 18.5% are over 65, compared with 23.2%. Households average 2.47 people and foreign residents make up 10.2%. Declared incomes are just below the provincial average.

For work, what counts is Verona and its industrial area, the junctions of the Brenner and Serenissima motorways and Verona's airport at Villafranca, all reached by car. Day-to-day journeys are almost always made by car. The village has 6 schools and education sites, 3 pharmacies and 4 supermarkets; the report measures the distance to each from the exact location of the house.

In much of the Verona plain the water table is close to the surface and water runs in ditches and irrigation channels. For a house with a basement room or underground garage, ask about any seepage; the report reads the official flood hazard maps for the address.

On earthquakes the province of Verona is split: 55 municipalities are in zone 2, the rest in zone 3. Vigasio is in seismic zone 3 with 42 others, and an expected ground acceleration of about 0.134 g. For newer houses the energy rating matters most, in climate zone E with foggy winters. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.

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