Villanova di Camposampiero, north-east Padua towards Venice
Villanova di Camposampiero is part of the Camposampiero area, the northern plain of the province of Padua north-east of the city, and it borders the province of Venice. There are no hills and no big rivers: the countryside is flat and dotted with scattered houses, workshops and small villages, distances are short and people drive a lot. Padua and Mestre are the two places where most go to work.
The typical home is a detached or semi-detached house with a garden, often built by the owners themselves between the 1970s and 1990s, next to newer housing estates. If you are buying a house of that generation, look closely at insulation, windows and the heating system: the town is in climate zone E, with damp and foggy winters, and the energy rating makes a real difference to the bills. It is also worth checking the surroundings, as in this countryside a small business can easily sit a few metres from the houses.
The town is young and still growing. Istat, the national statistics institute, recorded 6,159 residents in 2023, up 3.9% since 2011; the average age is 44.7 against 46.5 for the province and over-65s make up 20.6%. Households are large by today's standards, 2.51 people on average, and foreign residents account for 7.9%. Declared incomes remain below the provincial average.
The land is flat and crossed by a dense network of drainage ditches and channels, so in very heavy rain water can collect in the lowest spots. That is why the report checks flood hazard for the address itself, not as an average for the municipality.
As for earthquakes, 89 of the 101 municipalities in the province of Padua are in zone 3, Villanova included, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.101 g. The hazard is moderate; for a 1970s house it is still worth asking for the original design and any structural changes. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps.
