Bonemerse, Cremona countryside just outside the city

Bonemerse is a small municipality on the plain around Cremona, just east of the city, among maize fields, farmsteads and the Po corridor a little further south. It sits low, at around forty metres, in the classic irrigated Lombard plain of ditches and rows of trees.

Its strength is how close it is to Cremona. People living here work, study and shop in the city, a few minutes away by car, and come home to a quiet village of detached houses. The village has 7 recorded services, so for almost everything you go into town. Average incomes are slightly above the provincial level, and built-up land covers a fair share of the municipality.

There are 1,460 residents, practically unchanged since 2011 (-1.7%). The average age (46.6) and the share of over-65s (24.7%) are in line with the province of Cremona. Foreign nationals are 3.7%.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, and in Bonemerse the expected ground acceleration is 0.083 g. The 2012 Emilia earthquake was a reminder that the Po plain can also shake: for farmhouses and farm buildings converted into homes, check roofs, connections and any work done.

With the Po nearby, water is the thing to look at. The report checks the official flood maps for the address, measures the distance to services and gives the cadastral details of the land parcel.
