Zenson di Piave, lowland Treviso along the Piave

Zenson di Piave is a small municipality in the lowlands of Treviso province, on flat land a few metres above sea level, facing the River Piave along a stretch where it winds in wide bends between floodplain, embankments and fields. Treviso and San Donà di Piave are the reference towns, and Venice and Mestre are within reach for those who work there; nearly all journeys are by car.

For buyers, the most important thing is where the house sits in relation to the river. The report checks the official flood maps for the address, and on a low plain with embankments and drainage canals these change from one street to the next. Homes are mostly detached houses with gardens and a few old farmhouses, along with buildings in the centre. The climate zone is E, with damp, foggy winters and muggy summers.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,732 residents in 2023, down 2.9% on 2011. The average age is 45.3, just below the 46.0 of the province of Treviso, and over-65s make up 21.5%. Foreign residents are 11.0% and households average 2.48 people. Declared incomes are a little below the provincial average.

For earthquakes, Zenson is in seismic zone 3, like 17 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of 0.109 g. Elsewhere in the province the hazard is often higher, with 72 municipalities in zone 2 and 4 in zone 1, so here too it is worth asking about the structure of an older house.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel and also measures distances to schools, pharmacies and shops.
