Cappella Cantone, farmland and farmsteads on the Cremona plain

The land of Cappella Cantone is a stretch of the Cremona plain about 60 metres above sea level, with a small village and farmsteads scattered among the fields. It is working farmland, flat and crossed by canals and farm tracks, where village life is bound up with that of the farms. The larger towns of the province serve for work, secondary schools and hospitals.

Buyers will find detached houses, often with a yard, and farmsteads that are restored or awaiting restoration. The plain makes some things simpler (no slopes, easy access) but calls for care elsewhere: damp on ground floors, the closeness of cattle sheds or farm buildings, and the distance from canals, which the report checks on the official flood maps.

In 2023 there were 541 residents, down 6.2% from 577 in 2011. The population is slightly younger than the provincial average: an average age of 46.2 against 46.8, with over-65s at 24.8%. Households have 2.38 people on average and foreign residents account for 6.8%. Declared incomes are in line with the province.

Around Cremona the seismic class is the same for all 113 municipalities in the province: zone 3. In Cappella Cantone the expected ground acceleration in the village is about 0.085 g; for older brick houses, find out whether work has been done on floors and roof.

Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps are available, and the report links the address to its parcel and building.
