Brembio, Lodi farmland between Lodi and Casalpusterlengo

In the lowlands of Lodi province, between Lodi and Casalpusterlengo, Brembio is a village on the plain surrounded by irrigated fields, farmsteads and canals. The centre is gathered around the church, with courtyard houses, some of them renovated, and newer areas of detached houses and small blocks built in recent decades.

People who move here usually want lower prices than around Milan and a quiet village, and expect to use the car for almost everything. Lodi, Casalpusterlengo and the old Via Emilia road are the reference points for work and services, and trains to Milan and Piacenza leave from there. Old courtyard houses can be good value but need a careful look at roofs, damp and wiring and plumbing.

According to Istat, Italy's national statistics office, Brembio has 2,738 residents (2023), up 3.4% on 2011. The average age is 45.9, against 45.4 in the province. Foreign nationals make up 15.0%, a high share for a small village, and 23.7% of residents are over 65. Declared incomes are below the average for the province of Lodi.

All 60 municipalities in the province of Lodi are in seismic zone 3; in Brembio the expected ground acceleration is 0.076 g. On soft alluvial ground the quality of foundations and walls in older houses matters a great deal.

With channels and ditches all around, the report checks the official flood maps for the address and shows how far schools, pharmacies and shops are.
