Capergnanica, Crema's countryside south of the town

Capergnanica is a municipality in the Crema area, on the irrigated plain south of Crema, among farmed fields, farmhouses and irrigation channels. Crema is right next door and provides schools, the hospital and jobs; further away, but within reach, are Lodi, Cremona and the Milan area.

The population is holding up: Istat, Italy's national statistics office, counted 2,139 residents in 2023, up 2.1% on 2011. The mean age is 46.4, slightly under the 46.8 of the province of Cremona; over-65s make up 22.4%, against 25.3% in the province, and foreign residents 5.3%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average.

Housing is typical of the villages around Crema: detached houses with gardens and small blocks of flats built in recent decades, courtyard houses in the old core and a few farmhouses to restore in the countryside. Farmhouses need major work on roofs and services, while newer homes are best compared on energy rating. With channels and ditches everywhere, read the official flood maps for the exact address.

The whole province of Cremona is in seismic zone 3, all 113 municipalities without exception. Here the expected ground acceleration is 0.081 g: in courtyard houses, what matters is how walls and floors are tied together.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps. The report traces the land parcel from the address, shows the local price band and measures distances to schools, pharmacies and shops.
