Borgo Mantovano, three villages south of the Po

Borgo Mantovano has existed as a municipality since 2018, when Pieve di Coriano, Revere and Villa Poma merged. This is the Oltrepò mantovano, the part of the province of Mantua that lies south of the river Po: low, flat country of fields, rows of trees, drainage ditches and flood embankments. Revere is the riverside village, linked by a bridge to Ostiglia on the opposite bank.

House hunters will find three farming villages with courtyard houses, detached homes and small blocks of flats, plus farmsteads and scattered houses among the fields. People drive almost everywhere and work in nearby towns, in Mantua or across the river towards Verona. The report measures the distance from each address to schools, shops and the nearest stop.

In 2023 there were 5,351 residents according to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, down 4.8% on 2011, or 268 fewer. The average age is 48.3 (46.4 in the province), and over-65s make up 27.6%, against 24.4% provincially. Foreign residents account for 10.1%.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3 of the classification by the Protezione Civile (Italy's Civil Protection Department), like 59 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.092 g. The Po plain has soft ground, and old farm buildings such as brick barns and courtyard houses cope poorly with shaking unless they have been strengthened. Before buying a country house, find out when it was renovated and whether the walls and roof were worked on.

The Po is what matters most. Near the embankments, and above all in the floodplain between the embankment and the river, flood hazard needs a careful look, as does the network of drainage canals further inland. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the plot and checks these points there.
