Calolziocorte, on the Adda between Lecco and Valle San Martino

Calolziocorte lies on the eastern bank of the Adda river, a little south of Lecco and opposite Olginate. Behind it rise the slopes of the Valle San Martino, which for centuries looked towards Bergamo: until the province of Lecco was created the town belonged to Bergamo, and the tie still shows in local habits and transport links. On the riverbank stands the old monastery of Santa Maria del Lavello.

The town has a station on the Lecco-Bergamo line, where open timetable data show 3 train lines stopping, plus one bus route. Lecco is a few minutes away, with trains on to Milan. The valley floor, squeezed between river and mountain, is heavily built up, with sheds, roads and housing side by side; the villages higher up have scattered houses, more greenery and uphill roads.

There were 13,635 residents in 2023, down 2.7% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The population is a little older than the province: estimated mean age 47.2 against 46.6, over-65s at 27.1% against 25.2%. Foreign residents are 9.9%, and declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is low: seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, with expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.062 g. Two other features of the terrain matter more. Along the Adda, flood hazard needs checking for the houses closest to the water, and on the steep valley sides landslide hazard does too; the report reads both from the official maps, address by address.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps and the report finds the building's parcel.
