Bellinzago Lombardo, on the Martesana canal east of Milan
The Naviglio della Martesana, the canal that carries water from the river Adda to Milan, also runs through Bellinzago Lombardo, a municipality in the city's eastern belt between Gorgonzola and Inzago. The town has kept a good deal of countryside around its centre, with fields and farmsteads, even though it is now fully part of the Milan metropolitan area. It should not be confused with Bellinzago Novarese, in Piedmont.
For transport, the last stations on the green metro line, M2, on the branch towards Gessate, are a short distance away, and a cycle path runs along the canal towpath towards Milan in one direction and the Adda in the other. Homes are detached houses, small blocks of flats and farm buildings converted into houses. Average declared incomes are below the metropolitan average, which is very high.
There were 3,831 residents in 2023, up 0.6% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. Compared with the rest of the Milan area the population is slightly older: an average age of 46.4 against 45.6, and over-65s at 24.9% against 23.0%. Foreign residents make up 9.7%.
In the Metropolitan City of Milan, 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 and 73 in zone 4 of the Civil Protection Department's scale. Bellinzago is in zone 3, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.076 g, a low hazard. For a 1980s detached house, the energy rating and the state of the roof and windows matter more.
The land registry is published and the report traces an address to its plot. Near the canal and the irrigation ditches that water the fields, flooding and groundwater should be checked at the exact spot, especially if the house has a basement.
