Casanova Lonati, the Oltrepò plain towards the Po

This is the flat part of the Oltrepò Pavese, where the first hills give way to the plain running down to the river Po: Casanova Lonati sits at about sixty metres above sea level, among fields, rows of trees and farmhouses. The village is small, and for schools, shops and services people look to the larger towns of the area, starting with Broni and Stradella, and further afield to Pavia.

On the plain, homes are usually detached houses with a yard and some land, and there are old farmhouses (cascine) to restore. Before buying, check the foundations and rising damp in the walls, common on ground near rivers, and whether there are basement rooms. In winter fog is a regular feature, and this is climate zone E.

There were 463 residents in 2023, 4.1% fewer than in 2011. The average age is 49.5, close to the 47.1 of the province of Pavia, and over-65s make up 27.6%. Foreign residents reach 13.6% and households have 2.41 members on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Casanova Lonati is in seismic zone 3 on the national scale set by the Civil Protection Department, like 157 of the 184 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.086 g. The hazard is moderate: for an older house it is enough to ask what kind of structure it has and whether work has been done on the roof and floors.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report works back from the address to the land parcel. The main issue on this plain is water: the report checks the official maps of the areas that the Po and smaller watercourses can flood for each address.
