Zevio, on the Adige south-east of Verona

After leaving Verona, the river Adige flows south-east through cultivated plain, and Zevio is one of the municipalities along its banks. The town has a compact centre and several hamlets in the countryside, such as Santa Maria di Zevio, with low houses, farm buildings and new housing developments added in recent decades.

Many families live here and work in Verona or in the industrial areas of the lower Verona plain. There is no railway station in town and people mostly drive to the city, which is less than half an hour away. Recorded services per resident are thinner than the provincial average (for example 9 schools and education sites, 0.57 per 1,000 residents against 0.84), so it is worth checking in the report how far the school, pharmacy and supermarket are from the address.

In 2023 there were 15,696 residents, up 8.9% on 2011. The population is younger than the provincial one: average age 43.5 against 45.6 in the province, over-65s at 19.4% against 23.2%, and households of 2.49 people on average. Foreign nationals make up 10.7%. Declared incomes are close to the provincial average, slightly below.

Earthquakes should be taken seriously even on the plain. Zevio is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, but the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area, about 0.142 g, is high for that class; in the province of Verona, 55 municipalities are in zone 2. For a house from the 1960s or 1970s, ask for the design date and whether structural work has been done; for newer buildings, what counts is compliance with the seismic rules in force when they were designed.

If you are looking at homes near the Adige or in the lowest areas, water is part of the picture too: the report checks the official flood maps for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report can go from the address to the land parcel.

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

Radon and contaminated sites

Zevio is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 2 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Zevio, and 6 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Zevio: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Zevio are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.
