The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.

For example: Via Berico Euganea 1, Villaga.

Villaga, the southern slopes of the Berici Hills

Villaga lies on the southern side of the Colli Berici, the hills rising south of Vicenza. The town hall sits low, at about 45 metres, but the territory takes in both plain and hills, with woods, vineyards, olive groves and small hilltop hamlets. That means two different markets: on the flat, detached houses and farm buildings; on the hills, old rural houses and isolated homes reached by narrow roads.

Vicenza is the main centre for work and services, along with the larger towns of the plain. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, in a province with a very strong industrial economy.

There are 1,878 residents in 2023, down 4.3% on 2011. The average age is 46.3, a little above 45.9 in the province, over-65s are 23.2% and foreign residents 4.0%.

Villaga is in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection classification, with an expected acceleration of 0.110 g. In the province of Vicenza, 79 of the 112 municipalities are in zone 2, so the rating here is more favourable. For an old stone farmhouse it is still worth having the walls and timber floors assessed.

At the foot of the hills the plain is crossed by drainage ditches and reclamation channels, while on the slopes gradient and ground conditions matter: the official flood and landslide maps are read for the individual address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report traces the parcel from the address.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Villaga is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 33 of 112 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.110 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.
