Casaletto di Sopra, farmland in northern Cremona province

With a mean age below the provincial figure, Casaletto di Sopra is one of the small farming municipalities on the plain in the northern part of the province of Cremona, near Soncino. The land is flat, at about 90 metres, made up of irrigated fields, farmsteads and a compact centre. Many people commute to Crema, Cremona or the neighbouring provinces of Bergamo and Brescia.

In 2023 there were 511 residents, 6.8% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. What sets the village apart is age: a mean of 44.2 against 46.8 in the province, with over-65s at 20.9% against 25.3%. Households have 2.50 members on average, and foreign residents make up 8.4%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Buyers find village houses, detached homes and farmsteads. With a farmstead, size is what counts: large volumes mean large bills for the roof, heating and upkeep, and before signing you need to be clear which parts are habitable and which remain outbuildings. The climate zone is E, with fog and damp winters.

All 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona are in seismic zone 3; in Casaletto the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.115 g. For a masonry building, find out whether any work has been done on the roof and floors.

The Revenue Agency's cadastral maps are available, and the report links the address to the land parcel. On the plain the main question concerns canals and irrigation ditches, so the report checks the official flood maps for the exact location of the house.
